Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is whether the details of the proposed surface water drainage scheme (the Drainage Scheme), and the details of the proposed maintenance and management of the surface water drainage system, would ensure the development is satisfactorily drained.

What decided it

Appeal A turned on the fundamental error in the notice's requirements (an impossible Step B) which could not be corrected without injustice, while Appeal B turned on the appellant's failure to demonstrate the drainage scheme was appropriately designed and would satisfactorily drain the development.
