Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not adequate arrangements would be made for the disposal of foul and surface water from the site
- the effect of the proposal on the biodiversity of the site
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion, informed by updated drainage and ecological evidence, that adequate drainage and biodiversity mitigation could be secured by planning conditions, removing the outstanding obstacles to compliance with the development plan.
The scheme accorded with the development plan taken as a whole and no material considerations indicated otherwise, so under a normal (non-tilted) planning balance the appeal was allowed.
