Q. Won't all this building seriously affect drainage?

A. There are now regulations which mean that all building work mustn't impact on drainage - the Environment Agency has a say in this and must vet the scheme. All of the houses will be on soakaways and then there will be a balancing pond on the site into which the land can drain. This will have a pipe from it into the brook in Water Lane with a hydrobrake inside it to ensure slow run off.
