Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on effective flood risk management
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the local development strategy and the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the conditions of users of neighbouring units, with particular regard to parking stress and the free flow of traffic
What decided it
The absence of a site-specific flood risk assessment and failure to demonstrate that sequential and exception tests could be met, combined with evidence of surface water flooding susceptibility, resulted in a finding of harmful effect on effective flood risk management that could not be outweighed by employment benefits or parking adequacy.
