2) The site is shown to be at risk from surface water flooding and has recently experienced flooding. There is insufficient information to determine if a satisfactory drainage solution can be achieved for the site, without exacerbating existing flood risk, contrary to Local plan Policy EN5, Long Bennington Neighbourhood Plan Policies LB1 and LB9 or the NPPF (section 14).
