Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to the effect on trees
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 4 The Riverbank, with particular respect to outlook, sunlight and daylight
- Whether the proposal would be within a suitable location for housing with respect to flood risk in consideration of local and national policy
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the sequential test had been properly applied to all reasonably available sites in lower flood risk areas, combined with inadequate evidence of safe evacuation routes, meant the proposal conflicted with flood risk policies which could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
