Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal has adequately addressed flood risk
- whether the location of the proposed development would be acceptable with regard to development plan policy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's failure to demonstrate compliance with the sequential and exception tests for flood risk in Flood Zone 3a, combined with the increased intensity of use compared to the fall-back scheme, could not be outweighed by the design benefits or the existence of the fall-back permission.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS3, Policy DM1, Policy CS14, Policy SA2, Policy CS33, Policy DM44, Policy CS12, Policy DM32, Policy DM38
