Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the safety of future occupiers having regard to flood risk
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including on the setting of the nearby St. Nicholas/ Northgate Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers having regard to available living space and neighbouring occupiers having regard to refuse storage

What decided it

The cumulative effect of unmitigated flood risk to future occupiers, harm to heritage character and appearance, and substandard living conditions for both future and neighbouring occupiers meant the proposal could not be justified against the development plan.
