Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is acceptable in relation to flood risk
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety, including car parking, cycle parking and refuse storage
  • Whether off site public open space improvements are necessary and suitably provided

What decided it

The proposal fails the sequential test for flood risk as reasonably available alternative sites exist in areas with lower flood risk, and this failure alone is sufficient to dismiss the appeal.
