Does Haddenham Stream pass through or near your property?
Haddenham Stream starts at the north-eastern corner of Haddenham & passes through the centre of the village before exiting towards the south-west. For approximately half of the year it is dry but flooding is known to occur along the route.
The route includes ditches, channels, ponds & culverts passing through many properties, most if not all owners of these properties have riparian responsibilities.
Planning application 17/02280/AOP dated 14th September 2018 for 269 units (an increase of 30) on land to the north of Rosemary Lane proposes carrying flows away from this site and also surface water run-off from fields north of the site into Haddenham Stream.

The summer of 2018 was exceptionally long hot & dry. The applicant includes data for groundwater monitoring undertaken across the site with results shown to date for November 2017 to August 2018. Given this long dry spell it is uncertain how much reliability can be given to this data.
See section 3.8 of glanville_technical_note_flooding_and_drainage-1923795.pdf
