Failure to protect historic mass path and green infrastructure/amenity walking routes. Applicant proposed blocking and redirecting path without satisfactory legal opinion or layout proposals, resulting in haphazard development that injures area amenities.

Premature Services

Foul sewer connection relies on private 3rd party pumping station and rising mains without demonstrated legal interest or engineering proof to prevent septicity.

Public health / proper planning and sustainable development principles
Insufficient information has been submitted to show that the private 3rd Party pumping station and associated rising mains are adequately designed to prevent septicity of the sewage occurring.
Premature Services
