  • Whether the appeal site is suitable for the development proposed, having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The appeal site's location within Flood Zone 3 with high probability of flooding, combined with the finding that the provision of affordable housing would not outweigh the flood risk under the exception test, made the site unsuitable for the proposed development.
