Decision:

The Committee RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED on the same grounds as the previous application (18/02799/CPO) refused in December 2019 - i.e. ‘Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would not present an unacceptable risk to controlled waters. Specific areas of uncertainty relate to the nature of contamination present, what the distribution of these contaminants is in soils and groundwater and what risks this specific development introduces in relation to these risks. The Proposal is therefore contrary to policy SMP5 (d) and the NPPF.’
