Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would pass the Sequential and Exception Tests and would be safe from flooding without increasing flood risk elsewhere
- Whether the development would result in an excessive clustering of flat conversions, which local planning policy seeks to resist
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook, internal living space, and access to private outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development failed to pass the Sequential and Exception Tests for flood risk and would result in an excessive clustering of flat conversions contrary to Policy DMD 5.
