Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development is in a suitable location with regards to the risk of surface water flooding
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance caused by the incongruous rear positioning and plot subdivision, combined with the absence of evidence to demonstrate compliance with surface water flood risk policies, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh this.
the modest contribution to housing supply and sustainability of location did not outweigh the harmful effect on character and appearance and uncertainty regarding flood risk
