This assessment was carried out in Nov 2020, but Honeydon and St Neots flooded in December 2020. There are 5 watercourses which run from Staploe Parish into the rivers just upstream of St Neots. A development of 10,800 homes at Dennybrook (site 977) would increase the chance of flooding in St Neots and Honeydon. NPPF 2020 167. Whilst Dennybrook may incorporate SUDS, what of the effect on exisitng homes? The assessment should also incorporate cross border effects on St Neots.
