The application site is located in Flood Zone 1 which is at low
probability of flooding. Given the nature of the proposal and the
location of the site outside a flood risk area, it is concluded that the
proposal would be acceptable in terms of drainage. The application
indicates that the disposal of foul sewage would be through the main
sewer and Yorkshire Water have raised no objections to this. In terms
of surface water it is proposed that this be directed to a soakaway,
which the Drainage Board and Yorkshire Water have raised no
objection it is therefore considered that the proposed drainage
arrangements are considered to be acceptable.
2.13 Conclusion
2.13.1 The development of this site for the erection of one dwelling would be
considered acceptable in principle, despite the proposals not being in
accordance with Policy H2A, limited weight should be attached to the
non compliance with Policy H2A and significant weight should be
attached to the site being identified as a designated service village
capable of accommodating additional small scale development and the
proposals not causing harm to the local area in accordance with the
NPPF.
2.13.2 Having assessed the proposals against the relevant policies the
proposals are considered to be acceptable in respect of the design and
effect upon the character of the conservation area, flood risk, drainage,
climate change, impact on highways, residential amenity, nature

considerations as described above that are considered to be of
sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict and therefore planning
permission is recommended subject to conditions.
