Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to internal space, outlook, and privacy
  • flood risk and drainage

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that the proposed development would have an acceptable effect with respect to flood risk, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.

the very significant weight of adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions, and flood risk outweighed the moderate weight given to housing supply benefits, and the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development due to clear flood risk reasons for refusal
