Representation Summary:

The proposed Gillingham development is not ii a safe or sustainable location. The area is currently very susceptible to flooding and your site assessment notes this to be true for the proposed development, including the need for an evacuation plan to be created. This surely cannot be the right place for new developments with increased hard surfaces that will exacerbate the current problems and not cope with future flooding due to climate change. The local area has impermeable clay soils which means that drainage design options are limited and expensive.
