Equally, across my Aldridge-Brownhills constituency, we have witnessed in recent years an increase in the amount of flooding that has taken place in areas where the Black Country Plan has proposed a large number of these new properties. Areas such as Wolverhampton Road and Aldridge Road/Queslett Road East sites have had repeated instances of flooding in recent years including the flooding of homes.
To remove even more natural soakaway in several of these areas would have a detrimental effect on existing residents. This should not be overlooked at the initial stages of site allocation/preference in this Plan as it should include work on the existing drains and sewers too.
