Potential flooding problems at a site earmarked for housing in Lechlade have put the plans on hold.

Westbury Homes wants to build 31 homes, including six houses with garages, a public open space and access road on land at Butler's Court.

But members heard the Environment Agency was not satisfied and deferred the application for the problems of flood risks to be looked into and resolved. Planning officer Mike Napper said he was aware of flood problems experienced by residents nearby. Coun Christine Eatwell said "Some of their costs have run into thousands. Every year their houses are flooded.''
