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. We don’t believe that a development of up to 10,000 homes at Dennybrook is appropriate and we believe it would increase the chance of flooding.
NPPF 2020 states at 167. When determining any planning applications, local planning authorities should ensure that flood risk is not increased elsewhere.
We believe that Dennybrook would increase the risk of flooding elsewhere and that this flood risk assessment should be updated to allow for this. It should also incorporate cross border effects ie. the assessment shows watercourses going from Staploe parish into St Neots but no indication is given that these would affect the flood risk in St Neots.
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was updated in Sept 2020 and the risk assessments became more stringent therefore this flood risk assessment is out of date and needs to be updated. There is no mention of flooding in Staploe and Honeydon. The brooks in both of these villages flood. No properties have been directly affected in recent years but the roads in both villages flood significantly about once per year and in December 2020 they were very close to flooding homes.
