Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposal on flooding in the area.
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that the proposed emergency access and mitigation measures would ensure the development remained safe from flooding, so the proposal would not have a harmful effect on flooding in the area.
The proposal would not conflict with the development plan and there were no other considerations, including the Framework, which outweighed this finding, so the appeal was allowed.

- Development plan policies
- Policy LP27
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199
