Roseries Trent Valley Road Lichfield Staffordshire WS13 6EE

1. 1.The proposed development is not supported by sufficient information to demonstrate that a safe and sustainable surface water drainage strategy can be achieved. In particular, insufficient details have been provided in respect of the proposed discharge method, outfall arrangements, infiltration potential, and the incorporation of an appropriate sustainable drainage system (SuDS) treatment train. In the absence of this information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would not increase the risk of flooding on or off the site, or that it would comply with the principles of sustainable drainage. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, which requires development to ensure flood risk is not increased elsewhere and to incorporate sustainable drainage systems, and Policy CP3 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy.

The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, which seeks to ensure a high standard of amenity for existing and future users, and Policies CP3 and BE1 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy.

In particular, the submitted details fail to adequately demonstrate appropriate access geometry, pedestrian visibility splays, and tracking for larger vehicles, including emergency and service vehicles. In the absence of this information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposed development would not result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Paragraph 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies CP5, ST1 and ST2 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy The Local Planning Authority has taken a
