Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition would have on the appropriateness of the site for the development with reference to its vulnerability to flooding
What decided it
The advanced stage of construction of the dwellings and the site-specific flood risk assessment demonstrating the development would be safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere, combined with the fact that the addition would be a householder proposal once the dwelling was occupied, provided material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh the failure to pass the sequential test.
