Part retrospective: variation of Condition 13 (Surface Water Drainage Scheme to be submitted) and Condition 20 (Compliance with Surface Water Drainage Scheme Mitigation) pursuant to outline planning permission 23/0701/OUT to allow alterations to pond depth at Land To South Of Foxgrove Path/Heysham Drive, South Oxhey.

Recommendation: that retrospective outline planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

The application was part retrospective for variation of Condition 13 (Surface Water Drainage Scheme to be submitted) and Condition 20 (Compliance with Surface Water Drainage Scheme Mitigation) pursuant to outline planning permission 23/0701/OUT to allow alterations to pond depth at Land To South Of Foxgrove Path/Heysham Drive, South Oxhey.

The Planning Officer clarified that the drainage pond which formed part of the approved sustainable drainage scheme had been constructed deeper than was set out within the approved outline planning application.  The Lead Local Flood Authority had raised no objection to the increased depth of the pond, which would allow greater capacity as a result.

Councillor Whately-Smith moved, and Councillor King seconded, that retrospective outline planning permission be granted subject to conditions.  On being put to the vote this was carried unanimously.

RESOLVED: that retrospective outline planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
