Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development provides adequate provision for foul drainage, having regard to the drainage hierarchy
What decided it
The imposition of a detailed condition requiring submission of foul drainage proposals within 3 months, which would allow the appellant to demonstrate feasibility of alternatives to mains connection and enable the Council to assess acceptability, was sufficient to overcome the drainage objection and secure compliance with development plan policy.
The contribution of 1 pitch to meeting the Council's unmet gypsy and traveller accommodation need, combined with development plan policy compliance and the ability to impose conditions to address drainage and other concerns, outweighed any residual objections.
