Why it was refused

  1. The application has failed to demonstrate, through the submission of satisfactory hydraulic evidence, that the proposed surface water drainage arrangements and downstream receiving system have sufficient capacity to accommodate flows arising from the development without increasing flood risk on or off-site. In the absence of this information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development can be adequately drained or that it would not have an unacceptable impact upon flood risk. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy AW10 of the Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan and the objectives of Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12) and Technical Advice Note 15: Development, Flooding and Coastal Erosion.

From the council's decision notice.
