Our village was under water for many months in 2023. The village hall proposed site is a well-known flood pain, effectively and it's unusable after heavy rains. Rainfall is expected to increase year on year, so how is it possible to improve the flood protection in a village by building on the very land which soaks in the flood waters?
Plan should be scrapped for Barford. The flood risks (see historical data) are too high. And it happens too frequently.

Barford has been affected by flooding greatly recently. The river has been at bursting point at the bridge. The proposed village hall site already is affected by flooding so development will only make this worse.
The Barford plan should be scrapped entirely. The flood risks and risk to wildlife make it unfeasible.
