Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed developments in relation to flood risk
- the effects of the proposed developments on biodiversity
- the effect of the proposed developments on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the scheme subject of Appeal A would provide an appropriate mix of dwellings
What decided it
The appellant's failure to apply and satisfy the sequential test for flood risk in relation to Appeal A provided a clear reason for refusal that outweighed the housing benefits.
the limited contribution towards addressing housing need would not outweigh the harm identified in relation to flood risk and biodiversity
