What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole in respect of character and appearance, highway safety, and flood risk, and the tilted balance is not engaged because the proposal fails to meet Framework policies on flood risk.
The benefits of providing two new dwellings in a sustainable location were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, unacceptable highway safety impacts, and undemonstrated flood risk mitigation.
