Brownless E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building constitutes a separate dwellinghouse or an ancillary annex (ground b)
  • Whether the development would accord with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding (ground a)
  • Whether the six month period for compliance with the enforcement notice is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The development is at unacceptable risk of flooding as a separate dwelling and fails to comply with local and national flood risk policies, which is a matter of significant importance that outweighs the limited material considerations in favour.
