What was proposed

The application sought to vary conditions governing reserved matters, the development timetable and site investigation requirements.

“RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE SUBJECT TO 106 AGREEMENT AND CONDITIONS REASONS: The principle of the proposed development has been well established through the granting of the earlier permissions for the development of the site and although national planning policy has changed since the approval of the previous consents, it remains supportive of residential development in sustainable locations and within the defined settlement boundaries.”

Neighbour’s concerns

One objection raised concerns about existing waterlogging and mud, and asked for adequate drainage when houses are built.

“One letter of objection has been received as a result of this exercise. The letter is summarised as follows:”

“An existing property downslope of the development already experiences waterlogged garden areas and associated mud during periods of wet weather. • When new houses are being built the developer should ensure that adequate drainage is included to ensure that flooding does not occur.”
