Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.2.(1)(d) and (e) of the GPDO, with particular reference to flood risk and whether the location of the building makes it undesirable having particular regard to the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal fails to satisfy the flood risk requirements of paragraph Q.2.(1)(d) of the GPDO because the building would be unsafe from flooding with no adequate evacuation route, and prior approval should not be granted on this matter.
