Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would comply with national and local planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the Sequential Test had been satisfied by establishing that no reasonably available sites in lower flood risk zones were appropriate for the proposed development.

the limited socio-economic benefits of one additional dwelling and the absence of other harms were outweighed by the failure to satisfy the Sequential Test and the risk of exposing people and property to increased flooding
