This assessment was done in Nov 2020. 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. The assessment should incorporate cross border effects on St Neots. The methodology for preparing a strategic flood risk assessment was updated in Sept 2020 increasing the stringency of risk assessments. Therefore this flood risk assessment needs to be updated.

The hamlet of Honeydon is prone to flooding as seen particularly in December 2020. St Neots – where the brook runs to is also prone to flooding. Building 10800 houses would only increase this problem.

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.

Brooks, ditches and some roadways in Honeydon and Staploe regularly flood with heavy rain and as climate change progresses this has been happening more and more frequently

This assessment was done in Nov 2020. There was significant flooding in Honeydon and St Neots in December 2020.

NPPF 2020 states at 167. When determining any planning applications, local planning authorities should ensure that flood risk is not increased elsewhere.

This assessment was done in Nov 2020. For the first time in nearly 18 years severe flooding near my home in St Neots occurred in December 2020. This occurred due to water being released from Bedford and backing up our brook. I believe that excessive building around the River Great Ouse has alraedy contributed to this. Run off from Dennybrook would further increase the chance of St Neots flooding. The methodology for preparing a strategic flood risk assessment was updated in Sept 2020 increasing the stringency of risk assessments. Therefore this flood risk assessment needs to be updated.

This report contains critical errors and is flawed. Page 62 states "The more frequently flooded postcodes are MK40 2, MK41 6 and MK42 0" MK42 0 shows as having 1 Recorded Flood Incident but MK42 7 shows as having 9 Recorded Flood Incidents. Either the figures are recorded against the wrong postcode, or the figures are wrong.
Page 64 Table 5-3: Reservoirs with potential risk to Bedford Borough shows Woburn Road Wetlands Pond as owned by Bedfordshire

On this basis is this report valid? Any planning decisions based on this report would be unsound.
