Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the dwelling would be safe from flooding and would not make flooding worse elsewhere, combined with the absence of secured mitigation measures for the SPA, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be allowed.
