Burscough PC's sent this letter to the Borough Council's development 'supremo' John Harrison in the light of a new flooding survey in the parish.
'Dear Mr Harrison,
As you may be aware the Lead Local Flood Authority have commissioned drainage consultants Jacobs to survey and report on flooding problems in Burscough, through funding from DEFRA.
In light of this we would ask that decisions on current applications in Burscough, with particular reference to 2018/0837/FUL Victoria Park, are deferred until the results of the survey are known!
Our concerns with this application, as per our response, is that the proposed attenuation is not sufficient to prevent further flooding in the Crabtree Lane area, contrary to NPPF (national planning policy framework).
A further consideration is that the results could impact on both the current and future SFRA's (strategic flood risk assessment) plus the proposed replacement Local Plan, due shortly to go out to consultation.

"No development can currently be supported in Burscough due to the constraints on infrastructure and the increased risk of non-fluvial flooding. The preferred option will need to indicate how these issues will be resolved" WLBC 2010 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA).
In 2012 Burscough Action Group wrote to WLBC several times asking what evidence it considered before removing the above statement from the 2011 version of the SFRA and have never received a satisfactory answer. In light of the continued increase in flooding problems from foul and surface water sewers, isn't it time that the 2010 SFRA statement was put back into the new SFRA.
