Duty to co-operate? No

Any sewerage capacity assessment, has not taken into account the full recorded history of repeated sewerage capacity incidents in the village. Barford has been subjected to much sewage release into resident’s gardens, and on occasion into houses because the sewage system is unable to cope with the combination of effluent and rainfall. Adding additional houses to the system will continue to put further load on it.
Barford and Wramplingham are already susceptible to property flooding, which we consider is exacerbated by run off from housing developments that feed into the Tiffey and adjoining rivers.
