Object to AL6 due to conflict with Policy S27 Flood Risk Management.
The land is part of an Active floodplain of the Lavant and in wet winters there is flooding. Rising sea levels are likely to mean a higher water table and increased risk of flooding in Apuldram Lane South which already floods in winter. Concreting over 35ha of land will seriously reduce the ability of the floodplain to sponge up excess water and a raised linkroad will act like a dam, increasing the risk of flooding in neighbouring estates, the proposed 33ha industrial estate, 100+ houses or the A27!
