Purpose:

Content: Councillor Eileen Wilson withdrew from the committee as a planning committee member and participated in her capacity as a ward councillor.   By unanimous vote, the Committee refused the application for the following reasons: ·       The proposed development has failed to demonstrate, through the submitted Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy, that the flood compensation measures would be able to fully mitigate surface water flooding impacts upon the adjacent neighbouring properties and surrounding areas. As such, the proposal is not in accordance with paragraph 181 of the NPPF and Policy CC/9 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018. ·       The proposed development, by reason of the location of the amenity space within the 1:30 and 1:100 surface water flooding risk event, would fail to provide acceptable amenity space for the future occupiers. As such the proposed development would fail to comply with policy HQ/1 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018.
