Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Policy AL12: Land North of Park Farm, Selsey

Representation ID: 1306

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Flood Action Group Selsey

Representation Summary:

This land is the lowest point in Selsey, at sea level, and current occupants of this land report continued problems with surface water drainage.
This land is not suitable for development.
Mitigation to render it more suitable would make such development uneconomic. Houses built at East Beach walk adjacent to this site continue to have problems with damp and surface water drainage, and the parcel of land in this proposal continues to have problems which the Flood Action Group have attempted to ameliorate.

From: Flood Local Action Group Selsey

We wish to object to proposals to designate the land North of Park Lane and East of the Langmead Factory for Housing. This land is the lowest point in Selsey, at sea level, and current occupants of this land report continued problems with surface water drainage. This land is not suitable for development. Mitigation to render it more suitable would make such development uneconomic. Houses built at East Beach walk adjacent to this site continue to have problems with damp and surface water drainage, and the parcel of land in this proposal continues to have problems which the Flood Action Group have attempted to ameliorate.

Please consider this information when revising the Local Plan. We will raise this issue with the examiner if necessary

Brendon Hogan
On behalf of FLAGS
