Surface water from this development would enter a stream which flows underneath Capel Seion Road near Tynewydd. Two pipes which convey the stream under the road might not have sufficient capacity during heavy rainfall to cope with surges in surface water flows. It is well known that surface water runs off considerably faster and in greater quantity from residential areas than from agricultural land. In order to prevent flooding, the development should only be allowed to proceed when the culverts under Capel Seion Road have adequate capacity.
Surface water from SR/049/003, SR/049/006 and SR/049/014 would result in further overloading.
