TRAFFIC - currently major safety and access issues especially on Golf Lane, Coppice Road, Morris Drive and access to Heathcote Road esp. at school times. More traffic will make this much worse.

SEWERS - We have a history of sewer flooding in Fieldgate Lane / Golf Lane, again in the last few days at the end of Golf Lane.

FLOODING - The field in Fieldgate Lane already retains considerable water at times of heavy rain. The lower end of the field is often flooded to the level of the road. The ridge and furrow shape of the field also retains water in the furrows. The channel in Fieldgate Lane which drains the Golf course is often full to the brim now - higher than the road level. We have seen this on an annual basis over the years. The flood risk is already marginal in Fieldgate Lane and this WILL be made worse by extra run off from new roads / driveways. I have already had property insurance refused by an insurance company based on flood risk in Fieldgate Lane. Will the District Council or developer be responsible if we cannot get insurance due to increased risk or if flooding occurs?
