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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 1 of the Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk 2011
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 159Paragraph 162Paragraph 56
