Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would comply with national and local planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that the sequential test has been satisfied, with insufficient evidence that no reasonably available sites appropriate for the proposal exist in areas with lower flood risk.

The modest benefits of redevelopment of the non-designated heritage asset and limited social, economic and environmental benefits did not outweigh the unacceptable effect on flood risk and conflict with flood risk policy

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM12
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 155Paragraph 158Paragraph 163Paragraph 11
