Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to policies concerned with development in areas at risk of flooding.
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area.
- The effect on the living conditions of existing occupiers at Deans Court with particular regard to privacy, outlook and sense of enclosure.
- The effect on biodiversity.
What decided it
The proposal failed the sequential test for flood risk as the sequential test area was artificially constrained, and the development would cause significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of existing occupiers.
