Haha, that sounds like an interesting story! Did you go to appeal?

I just carried out the conditions and did the build.

 

Was your drainage strategy part of the approved documents in the planning application? Or was it just a matter of BCO needing to sign off the drainage implementation during the build? Planning want to approve our drainage strategy before building work starts.

We went to appeal after the second refusal and the Inspectorate refused and made recommendations that we included in our third application. When we were told it was going to be refused again I asked our local councillor if he would recommend it to go before the Planning Committee. It was passed unanimously much to the annoyance of the Head of Planning.

No, it wasn't fortunately one of the conditions.

That's tough, as from my experience they're a bunch of incompetents. My Head of Planning admitted that none of his PO had any design qualifications and that one PO could justifiably allow something which another PO in the same office might refuse. Good luck.

7m from buildings would mean no new legoland build would ever get a soakaway passed!
