Why it was refused

  1. The attenuation basin is located in an area which is susceptible to high surface flood water risks which has the potential to undermine the effectiveness of the sustainable drainage feature and its ability to manage the surface water run off from the truck stop. No evidence has been provided to demonstrate that the identified flood risk will not impact the attenuation capacity of the drainage system and compromise its effectiveness. The proposed amendment to the approved surface water drainage scheme is therefore considered to conflict with Development Plan Policies SWDPR38 and SWDPR39 in addition to Decision Making Policy F7 and F8 of the NPPF (2026) and is unacceptable.

From the council's decision notice.
