·         the PD fall back position and the high likelihood of these extensions being built and the fact that there was no objection from the EA, Members considered that the proposal would not increase flood risk, and would be safe for its lifetime. Furthermore the environmental credentials of the building provided wider sustainable benefits to the community. As such the proposal was considered to comply with Policy F1 and NPPF paragraph 101, 102, and 103.

·         It has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not cause harm to reptiles and Great Crested Newts.
