Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed surface water drainage scheme would be acceptable and appropriate, having regard to the issue of flood risk

What decided it

The presence of other services within the road that heavily contributed to the need for a pump, combined with the risk of blockage in a small diameter gravity-fed system and the practical constraints on attenuation location, justified the departure from the drainage hierarchy preference for gravity systems.
