Pictures of flooding around Bourne End and Wooburn Green have proved the risk of developing Slate Meadow, a campaigner believes.
Following heavy rain in recent weeks, reader Keith Randall submitted a picture of the standing water to the Bucks Free Press and the Wycombe District Council cabinet members who agreed to release the area for development last month.
He said it was another reason for “reinstating protection” and “Slate Meadow should not even be considered for development”.
With part of Slate Meadow on a floodplain residents have raised concerns about how development could affect the surrounding homes.
