Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would represent permitted development by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended), having particular regard to flood risk
What decided it
The hydraulic modelling relied upon by the appellant was 13 years old and therefore insufficiently current to demonstrate that flood risk had been entirely disproved for a more vulnerable use in Flood Zone 3b.
