FLOODING AT KINGS MOAT/ WREXHAM ROAD DEVELOPMENT

| 0 comments

This response has been received from Taylor Woodrow to the Principal Planning Officer at CWAC after we raised the matters of flooding and noisy pumps:

As you quite rightly point out we have experienced some severe and prolonged weather which has created flooding issues across the whole of our area of operations. Particularly in Cheshire this is exacerbated by the sub-strata being predominantly heavy clay.

Both our area and that of Redrows, of construction are positively drained which will alleviate some of the water runoff. It would appear years of neglect to the ditch along the boundary have created an issue – we have cleared the ditch to ensure no water runoff from the field enters onto adjoining residents properties. As works progress and more positive drainage is installed the problem will ease further.

I will speak with Ian regarding the lines of communication and ensure acknowledgements to correspondence from the WPRA are issued. We are holding regular meetings with them and believe this is the ideal forum for concerns to be raised, addressed and relevant information disseminated.

I will also speak with the site teams regarding the generator / pumps and look at noise attenuation.
