Councillor Loades asked what impact there would be on this Council if the properties in this area were to flood due to an inadequate drainage system  or if a train were to be derailed due to flooding.  Councillor Loades stated that there were already problems with the drainage in that area.

The Council’s legal representative, Mr Trevor Vernon advised Members that the Local Planning Authority would have had to have acted in a negligent way in granting planning permission.  Drainage comes under different legislation and is the responsibility of the developer.  If planning permission were to be granted it would be unlikely that the Local Authority would be held responsible.
