Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the appearance and amenity of the area with regard to loss of trees
  • Flood risk

What decided it

The appellant's detailed technical assessments demonstrated that trees of limited amenity value would be removed with adequate protection for retained trees, and that flood risk would be adequately mitigated through sustainable drainage and a pump device, both secured by condition.
