Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the acceptability of the proposal in respect of flooding and drainage

What decided it

The proposal failed to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk, as the appellant provided no justification for limiting the search area and no evidence of specific local housing need that would warrant development in a high-risk flood zone when reasonably available alternative sites at lower risk might exist elsewhere in North Lincolnshire.
