Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed Surface Water Sustainable Drainage Scheme would secure the implementation of an acceptable drainage strategy and a surface water drainage system
What decided it
The unacceptable outfall arrangement to the ordinary watercourse and the risk of obstruction from haybales mean the Surface Water Sustainable Drainage Scheme cannot be implemented as proposed and would not secure an acceptable drainage strategy.
