Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether surface and foul drainage can be provided for the proposed development having regard to pollution, human health and flooding

What decided it

The proposal would provide 15 new homes in an area where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, and a drainage strategy could be implemented through conditions to address the single reason for refusal.

The benefits of housing delivery and the sustainable location of the development, together with contributions to education, open space and community facilities, outweighed the drainage capacity concerns which could be managed through a phased strategy and conditions.
