FLOOD RISK

FLOOD RISK

We all know the flood risk in North St Albans. Maybe some of you have been subject to the disruption is causes.

Can you imagine the disruption it would cause if that was your home?

Our expert advice has put into words what we already know. But we need to have it on headed paper for the Council to listen. See the expert advice on flood risk in North St Albans here….housing cannot be made “safe for a lifetime”

Down load report here

Why have we been ignored? The SuDS scheme at the Cala development is substandard and does not conform to SuDS regualtion. See our Letter to Councillors which was effectively ignored by Officers at the planning meeting on September 1st 2025: here

Highways proposals safety reports by Transport Experts

With your generous donations we have commissioned three highways assessments costing over £10,000 to the local community.

We have to do this because the Council are not properly evidencing our concerns.

Each time there has been damning evidence against the developers unsafe proposals for additional cycling capacity.

See the first full report from 2023 here.

Three further reports have been commissioned in 2024. One against the unsound Woollam Park speculative application here.

The second against the Cala applications here.

The third against the unsound Local Plan here

The ecological corridor surrounding Heartwood, supporting the forest within.

See our full presentation here, containing acclaimed research from the Heartwood Monitoring Project completed by the Hertfordshire Natural History Society,

See the results of our 2025 bat survey in partnership with Wilderhood Watch: Bat survey report, click here

We ask why the council and developers never seem to have the full picture of the ecology on the site?
