Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to flood risk
- The effect of the development on designated nature conservation sites, with particular regard to recreational pressure and disturbance and wastewater discharges
What decided it
The proposal fails the sequential test for flood risk as it locates a more vulnerable use in an area of surface water flood risk without demonstrating overriding reasons or that no alternative sites with lower risk are available, and no agreed mitigation for nutrient neutrality impacts on the Broads SAC has been established.
Framework references: 159, 162, 56
