Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with reference to its vulnerability to flooding
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that there are no reasonably available sites appropriate for the proposed development in areas with a lower probability of flooding, as required by the sequential test in Policy LP27 and chapter 14 of the Framework.
the limited benefits of one dwelling and associated social and economic benefits did not outweigh the substantial harm that could result from siting a dwelling within an area of high probability of flooding when other sites with lower risk may be available
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP27
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 14
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
