Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be an appropriate location for housing having regard to matters of flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and biodiversity of the area, with particular regard to vegetation
What decided it
The sequential test for flood risk was not sufficiently demonstrated, and the substantial loss of vegetation would cause significant harm to character and biodiversity, with no material considerations outweighing the development plan conflict.
The limited economic and social benefits of one additional dwelling and the support for housing supply did not outweigh the failure to demonstrate the sequential test for flood risk and the significant harmful impact on character and biodiversity.
