The agent said: “No alterations are proposed to the existing foul and surface water drainage arrangements, which will continue to discharge to existing field drains and the existing septic tank system.”
Although the proposal is for a rural area, the agent has pointed out that planning policy allows development in open countryside in special circumstances including replacement dwellings.
Consultation has taken place with officers of the council’s planning department who have advised that the principle of the development is acceptable.
