Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupiers of the building would be safe from flooding
What decided it
The access to the building would be at risk of flooding to dangerous depths during a design flood event, making it unsafe for residents to access or exit the site, which outweighs the limited housing supply benefits.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 26 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 – 2030
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 159Paragraph 161Paragraph 168Paragraph 60Paragraph 69
