Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether occupants of the proposed development would be safe in the event of a flood

What decided it

The absence of a required site-specific flood risk assessment meant the Inspector could not determine that occupants would be safe in the event of a flood, causing the proposal to conflict with Policy W DM2.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy W DM2
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 167Paragraph 168

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.
