Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would provide a suitable site for development, having regard to its location within Flood Zone 2 and 3 and the Sequential Test
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the preservation or enhancement of Steventon Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The appellant failed to satisfactorily demonstrate through the Sequential Test that the proposed development would not represent an unacceptable risk to flooding, conflicting with the Framework's aim of directing development away from areas of highest flood risk and Policy CP42 of the Local Plan.
Framework references: 167, 202
Plan policies cited: Policy CP42, Policy CP37, Policy CP39, Policy DP36, Policy DP38
