Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Variation of Conditions 2 (Approved Plans) and 7 (Surface Water) pursuant to planning permission 23/03856/RENE for the following:- Filter drains running across the Northern field have been replaced by a swale that runs alongside the West side of the field and then connects to the swale in the centre via one filter drain. In the Southern field, the filter drains running through the field have been replaced by filter drains around the Northern and Eastern edges which connect to a swale and are then discharged to an existing drain.
