group have released a summary of their suggestions to have the power

Housing development adjacent to
Burlington School |
|
|
Following the Public Engagement Exercise held at Burlington
School and the Community Centre it was clear that flood risk, and in
particular overland flow, was a concern of the community. Because of this
the developer's engineers have taken the design of the scheme further than
they ordinarily would for a planning application, in order that they could
demonstrate to the community and the Local Planning Authority that there
is a solution that works. The scheme designs are being finalised, as
well as amendments to the landscaping in response to comments from the
community (principally the beefing up of the planting along the northern
boundary to the site). The application for the development will be
submitted shortly.
