Decision: Approval of Planning Application for Residential Development The application for 170 dwellings at Land East of Cossington Road was approved. Concerns were raised about the proximity of a substation to existing and proposed dwellings and potential health risks from electromagnetic fields. Additionally, issues regarding flood risk and drainage were discussed. The approval was contingent on conditions addressing these concerns, including a detailed drainage strategy to be approved before commencement. The decision implies a commitment to managing local concerns while advancing residential development.
