Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Flooding and flood risk
  • The living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would be bulky, incongruous and cramped within the plot, materially harming the domestic garden character of the surrounding area in a manner contrary to development plan policies, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that the Sequential Test for flood risk had been satisfied.
