Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not cycle storage would be sufficient
- whether or not the proposal meets the requirements of local and national policy with regard to flood risk and incorporation of sustainable urban drainage systems
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed community use meets the requirements of local policy with regard to protection of these facilities
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate sufficient cycle storage provision and failed to apply the sequential test for flood risk, which together outweighed the benefits of four new dwellings and acceptable character and community use outcomes.
The benefits of four new dwellings, acceptable character and appearance, and compliant community use were outweighed by the failures to provide sufficient cycle storage and to demonstrate the sequential test for flood risk.
