I read with interest the decision of the planning committee to pass the recent application on High Road, Weston.
It was obviously a ‘not in my back yard’ decision made by members unaware what damage flooding either surface water or sewage will cause.
I placed my recent objection to this because, instead of recommending types of water control on application, it needs to be a condition that needs to be implemented.
I am sure our planning officer Phil Norman, the planning inspector he refers to and the other committee officers that voted for the application would love to know what a very sticky wicket of sewage is like on your front doorstep.
I do not object to this application but conditions for water and waste water need to be enforced on all new sites in our village.
If not it makes a mockery of carbon footprint etc.
