Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed means of foul water sewerage disposal, including proposals for associated off-site infrastructure improvements, is acceptable having regard to the environmental constraints of Chichester Harbour and the capacity of the Apuldram Wastewater Treatment Works

What decided it

The Inspector could not rely on the Appellant's calculation of historic foul water flows because it was based on an unrealistic assumption of maximum employment levels rather than actual site use, and without this information could not conclude there would be no net increase in flows to the environmentally sensitive Apuldram WwTW.

Plan policies cited: Policy 16, Policy 12
