Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • flood risk

What decided it

Thames Water's failure to assess the revised Flood Risk Assessment meant the Inspector could not determine whether the proposed development would comply with the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to permitted development under Class O of the GPDO in respect of flood risk.
