Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the details submitted to satisfy Condition 2 (i) parts (a), (c), and (d) of the site development scheme, and condition 3 are sufficient.
What decided it
The drainage scheme lacked an adequate technical basis (relying on an incomplete 2018 BRE test at a different depth for a different scheme) and a comprehensive drainage drawing showing all components, making it impossible to verify the scheme would function acceptably or be enforceable.
