Policy CC/FM doesn’t take adequate account of the local heavy clay soil.
A better drainage recommendation is needed for low infiltration areas, together with stronger planning review and enforcement.
If the recommendation includes surface features such as swales, lower housing density may be required to allow sufficient space. This should be explicitly recognised, and this space should be distinct from areas set aside as Public Open Space.
