WITH reference to your story "Decision on Flats Deferred", (October 23), I notice there is concern about additional surface water created by the proposed properties. There are also further concerns about putting water from the Pilcher Homes development into a nearby beck.

I would like to know where is the surface water and water from the proposed 22 new flats at Abbeyfield Regency Mews going. The only beck I know of round here runs between Abbeyfield House and the sports ground situated on St Helen's Road.
