On the 31st December 2024 we published an article about the consultation on the Manor Road Housing Development closing for feedback today, Monday 6th January 2025.
Ironically, part of the proposed site was subject to flooding after heavy rain this weekend.
The building is by local housebuilder, Pennyfarthing Homes, and planned to be called the Swallowfield Park housing development.
We are unaware of the range of flood risk assessments that we assume have been carried out, and hope that the developers have a viable flood solution in mind.
Should any flood risk not be resolved, this could cause issues for future new home owners.
Not all about the new houses....what about the existing houses that may now find themselves ingressed with water from the run off from the housing estate. Flooding around Manor Road and George Road is also increasing - Home Insurance to rise for areas around here??
