planning permission for the infilling of lands with imported inactive or inert waste (app. 6220m³) to a maximum depth of 2.4m over 0.80Ha, accessed off existing entrance, finished with topsoil and grassed over on completion, together with all ancillary & associated site works

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The development would result in the displacement of flood water storage capacity, increasing flood risk to adjoining lands without adequate or achievable mitigation measures.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed infilling would displace existing flood water storage capacity, leading to an increased risk of pluvial flooding on adjacent lands.
  • The applicant has not demonstrated that appropriate mitigation measures can be implemented, particularly as some proposed works involve infrastructure on third-party property.
  • The proposal fails to comply with County Development Plan policies regarding flood risk management (FMP2 and FLP2) and the sustainable development of the area.
