Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the safe operation of aircraft, with particular regard to Sibson Aerodrome and Furze Farm
  • the effect of the proposed development on surface water drainage and flood risk in the area

What decided it

The proposal failed to demonstrate with sufficient certainty that it would avoid harm to the safe operation of aircraft, particularly at Sibson Aerodrome and Furze Farm, contrary to Policy LP35 which requires all potential adverse impacts to be made acceptable.

Framework references: 161, 168, 200

Plan policies cited: Policy LP10, Policy LP35, Policy LP14, Policy LP34, Policy LP5, Policy LP15
