Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for dwellings with regard to flood risk
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole due to unsuitability regarding flood risk and harm to character and appearance, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.

The limited weight given to housing supply benefits and modest economic gains was outweighed by the considerable weight attributed to conflict with development plan policies on flood risk and character and appearance.
