Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to national and local planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
What decided it
The failure to properly apply the sequential test for flood risk, combined with the harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area, means the proposal conflicts with the development plan and flood risk is a protected area preventing the tilted balance from being engaged.
