I am the landowner of (redacted), on which it is proposed by National Highways to take land and lower surface to bring it within flooding levels as part of Flood Compensation in relation to the A46 bypass project. I consider this to be a poorly though out solution to flood compensation due to the location of the proposed works and the fact that my affected land is not within the fluvial flood plain - it is proposed to lower the land level and to feed flood water onto and off my land via a culvert beneath the A617 to create a holding volume, rather than facilitating discharge of the flood water from the Newark area by increasing river flow rates.
