Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on flooding
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal fails the sequential test for flood risk by not adequately demonstrating the absence of reasonably available sites in areas with lower flood risk, and would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area through cramped, incongruous development that conflicts with the established low-density pattern.
