Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development represents an acceptable form of development having regard to policies concerned with flood risk
  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development upon protected trees
  • whether the development could provide a safe and suitable access

What decided it

The development fails the sequential test for flood risk and would cause significant harm to character and appearance and protected trees, which together outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery.

The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefit were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance, prejudice to protected tree health and amenity, and failure to pass the sequential flood risk test.
