Policy DM1 Flooding and Drainage

Persimmon Homes object to Policy DM1 Flooding and Drainage.

The majority of the draft policy is supported. However, the final element of the policy refers to the strategic flood solution at the former Weston Airfield and to the south of the Cross Rhyne and for flood management infrastructure along the River Banwell as shown on the Proposals Map.

Unfortunately, the Proposals Map does not accurately show the latest extent of the strategic flood solution at Weston Airfield and the adjacent land. Therefore, Persimmon seek the Proposals Map to be amended to more accurately depict the extent of Winterstoke Village, in particular the location and extent of the proposed public open space and the super pond.

(See Attached Indicative Masterplan for Weston Park Phase II)

It should be noted that various landowners agreement will be necessary to deliver the super pond.

Change Sought to the Plan

That the Proposals Map be revised to more accurately depict the extent of the strategic flood solution at Weston Airfield and adjacent land.
