Please indicate below whether you support, support in part or oppose the suggestion that this site be included in the Land Allocations document.
Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
1. 2 years ago, severe flooding on Ullswater Rd which culminated in neighbours and I requesting sandbags from SLDC to attempt to prevent flooding water streaming down footpath as traffic passed and entering houses. Have had to manage my budget to incorporate house content insurance against flooding.
2. Water from fields flows under my house despite water being previously re rooted, if the natural flow is further prevented, some serious potential damage is possible.
3. Traffic flow from more build down into Sandylands to join bottle neck at the entrance to Appleby Road would be horrendous and cause serious problems
4. The costs involved to build on a land so delicate/susceptible to flooding and which is in a state of precarious balance with the environment/building would outstrip the need for social housing which could be built on land which does not carry such high risk and possible future expenditure should flooding occur as it already has as per above.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
