10.25 -10.42 When will the water cycle study take place? Which water treatment works have capacity and which do not? Which specific plan areas suffer from water run off. How will this be dealt with?

Absolutely NO to building anywhere that may present a flood risk - however low that may be. The disastrous effect of building on flood planes is clear to see - no more.

There should be no building in areas that have even a remote risk of flooding as water levels are set to rise in an unprecedented way over the next 25 years. Why build at Stamford East for example? Also, we need to prioritise carbon sink areas that act as natural soakaways e.g Quarry Farm than concreting them over with more houses. Finally, new drainage & water infrastructure needs to be in place prior to any building e.g Stamford North & Anglia Water’s acknowledgment that a new pumping station and water pipeline is required to meet water & foul drainage needs

Re 10.28. I suggest caution here and that you add a note on climate change. It is very likely that after this year the NPPF will have to be revised to handle the increased risk of flooding.

Achievable on its own without destroying more of the countryside.

Sea levels are set to rise by 24cm over 1990 baseline levels by 2030. Combined with high groundwater levels and insufficient mitigation technology such as ancient pumping systems (much of which is inoperational currently) and no regular clearage of our dykes and drains, it is not clear that even low risk building is actually desirable due to the significant risk of flooding from 2030 onwards. There is also a risk of back flooding from the Humber and the Trent.

We should allow our shrivelled peatlands to absorb water, rather than building on it.

Section 10.34 states that the Environment Agency are responsible for the management of groundwater resources, however it is the local authority that would be responsible for managing the risk of flooding to groundwater. We have a strategic overview for all sources of flooding. Further guidance on our responsibility on groundwater resource can be found herehttps://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5ab38864e5274a3dc898e29b/Envirnment-Agency-approach-to-groundwater-protection.pdf
