Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed is acceptable given its flood zone location
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate through an up-to-date housing needs assessment that a restricted search area limited to Farndon was justified, and therefore failed to satisfy the sequential test requirement to show no suitable sites with lower flood risk exist elsewhere.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP10Policy DM5Policy SP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 162
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
