Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be served by an adequate means of surface water drainage
  • Whether the proposal would protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking

What decided it

For condition 1, the existence of the discretionary clause allowing agreement to an alternative means of surface water drainage, combined with the small scale of development and lack of environmental harm, justified approval of the existing sewer connection; for condition 2, the condition does not require details approval under this appeal mechanism and remains as set.
