“4. The existing attenuation pond is located in Flood Zone B, on land known to have been flooded in the past, as evidenced by sedimentary deposits. An alluvial belt of Pleistocene to Recent age is associated with this stretch of Cnithio Brook.
5. Although the Development Advice Map shows no fluvial flood risk, Surface Water and Small Watercourses Extent Mapping shows a fluvial flood risk from Cnithio Brook to the attenuation pond, but not to the proposed sheds.”

“The environmental impact of the development is small. Based on the evidence put forward within the application, the impacts of the development on the landscape, amenity and the environment as a whole do result in any material harm.”
