Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed shared surface access road would be suitable with regard to refuse collection arrangements, provision of services and the safety of its users
  • whether the proposed dwellings would be safe from flooding and whether the scheme makes adequate arrangements for surface water drainage
