Without seeing the complete documentation from the S of S its difficult to form an opinion. It seems from the report in the link that no account has been taken of the vast experience the Club has of evacuating campsites due to flooding. Is there any evidence that the land in question has ever flooded? I suppose the Club have to decide whether an appeal would likely change the situation? It does beg the question as to what that land could be used for if a campsite which can be evacuated, probably within an hour, is not suitable use? Perhaps the Club should hold onto the land to see what happens.

If flooding is an issue I am sure we can draw on the Club's experience at the Tewkesbury site which is built on a flood plain.

I am surprised that it is an issue in a planning application for temporary accomodation. Is it really subject to unforecast flash flooding that precludes evacuation?
