Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the appearance of the host dwelling and whether it would conserve or enhance the character of the Melrose Conservation Area
  • Whether the information provided in support of the appeal is sufficient to justify the proposed development and has shown that flood risk has been adequately dealt with, with particular regard to relevant government advice and local policy

What decided it

The proposal would fail to conserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Melrose Conservation Area and would not adequately demonstrate that flood risk has been minimised, contrary to statutory duties and local and national planning policy.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: DC1, DC4, DC8, DC11, CC3, CC4
