Ward: Hampton Court

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr. Powell (objector) spoke against the application.

Councillor KG Grumbley, the Local Ward Member, had a number of concerns about the application, feeling that the proposal would be an overdevelopment of the site.  He also felt that there were potential problems with drainage because there was no mains sewer and mains water.  It was crucial that adequate measures were put in place to deal with surface water drainage because disposal of surface water into the ditch near to the proposed property would add to flooding of the C1125 which was already a significant problem in adverse weather conditions.  He felt that it was essential for the Environment Agency and the Transportation Manager to be satisfied with the arrangements prior to the scheme commencing and the Sub Committee concurred with his views.
