Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be at risk of flooding or increase the risk of flooding elsewhere, along with the effect on water quality, ecology, foul and surface water functions and pollution

What decided it

The extensive expert evidence demonstrating that the proposed drainage scheme would significantly improve surface water management, combined with the development's preservation and enhancement of the listed building and conservation area character, outweighed local concerns about flooding and other matters.
