Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to its flood zone location and the provisions of the development plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and associated guidance
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient detailed analysis and evidence to demonstrate that the Sequential Test had been satisfied, such that the location in Flood Risk Zone 2 could not be justified.
The economic benefits of construction and future resident spending, together with the addition of one dwelling to housing supply, do not outweigh the identified harm or indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
Framework references: 162, 163
Plan policies cited: Policy DM4 of the Council's Core Strategy (2012), Policy SI12 of the London Plan
