Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location is appropriate for the proposal, having regard to the impacts and risks of flooding
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the sequential test for flood risk had been satisfied by showing no alternative sites at lower risk were available.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, particularly the conflict with the sequential test and Policy FR, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling to address housing undersupply
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy FR, Purbeck Local Plan Part 1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
- Judgments
- Wathen-Fayed v Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities [2023] EWHC 92
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.
