Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed development is appropriate, having regard to the spatial strategy on the location of housing and national policy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would comply with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the development plan spatial strategy for housing location and does not pass the sequential test for flood risk, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh the identified harm.
