The proposal is in close proximity to Bracon Hall County Wildlife Site, which is sensitive to changes in water quality that would result from run-off from the application site. The current active planning application for this allocation site proposes directing run-off water from the site, via a road side ditch, to an attenuation pond immediately adjacent to the CWS, but it is unclear if the CWS is safeguarded from overspill from the attenuation pond.
Policy wording should reflect the proximity of the CWS and include a requirement for any application to ensure indirect impacts on the CWS are avoided, in particular from off-site routing of run-off water.
