The entrance to the proposed chicken farm site for Kinsey Hern (the so-called "Frogmore Farm") opposite the Cowsden Turn was flooded. Vehicles would have struggled to get access in the morning. Moor End Lane was impassable in the morning. By late afternoon when these pictures were taken it was possible to navigate it.
This was not an extreme event and neither was it unusual. Our question for the Environment Agency is what happens if the attenuation ponds at the proposed unit flood and this whole area is contaminated with the output from the swales which includes chicken broiler unit dust.
We look forward to seeing further details of the proposal including levels. We think it will pose some interesting questions of the applicant.
