Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4171

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Keith Turner

Representation Summary:

This assessment was done in Nov 2020. There was significant flooding in Honeydon and St Neots in
December 2020. There are 5 watercourses which run from Staploe Parish into the rivers just
upstream of St Neots. A development of up to 10,800 homes at Dennybrook
(site 977) is inappropriate and it would increase the chance of flooding.
The methodology for preparing a strategic flood risk assessment was updated in Sept 2020 and the
risk assessments became more stringent therefore this flood risk assessment is out of date and
needs to be updated.
