Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on drainage and associated surface water flooding
What decided it
The absence of technical evidence from a qualified drainage engineer to demonstrate that the decking would not increase surface water runoff in an area with pre-existing drainage problems.
The limited weight given to the appellant's personal and family benefits did not outweigh the potential harm arising from increased surface water runoff and drainage problems.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM16 of the Winchester District Local Plan Part 2 (Development Management and Site Allocations)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
