Mill road is a narrow country road with no footpaths in the bottom of a valley. Our land remains lush and green all year round due to its position with the rising land going to the north and south and the high water table and drainage ditch to the rear of our property. The land to the rear of the property has flooded on a number of occasions over the years due to periods of high rainfall and excessive surface water run off from the developments to the east of our property.
We raised serious concerns only two years ago when two bungalows were given planning permission next to us and in front of woodland stoves with the environment agency applying conditions to the development. We fail to see how development of this size with the potential surface water draining down into the valley can be mitigated without harm to those properties around and including us.
Concerns over extra traffic within the village and the access onto the Al46 from Ashby Road. What considerations have been given to supporting infrastructure, with the local school, doctors and dentists being at capacity.
