Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be safe from flood risk
  • The effect on the occupiers of Nos. 190 and 198 Bournemouth Road with regard to outlook and availability of light
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the layout on the safety of future residents from crime
  • The contribution that the proposal could make to housing delivery

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate that future occupiers would be safe from surface water flooding, engaging the Framework's clear direction to direct development away from areas at risk of flooding, which provides a reason for refusal that outweighs the substantial benefits of housing delivery.

The substantial benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan due to flood risk and harm to neighbouring living conditions, with flood risk engaging Framework policies protecting areas of particular importance that provide a clear reason for refusal.
