Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the location of the development is suitable having regard to flood risk
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area combined with the unsuitability of the location due to flood risk outweighed the minor housing and economic benefits.
The benefits of housing supply and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the flood risk conflict; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply because flood risk is a Framework asset of particular importance.
