Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location, land use and amount of development is suitable with regard to character and appearance of the area
- Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupants and whether the proposal would harm living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- Whether the proposal is suitable in respect of the critical drainage area
What decided it
The inherent harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by inserting a single dwelling into an abnormally small plot in a manner inconsistent with the established linear pattern of development, combined with the failure to demonstrate that flood risk could be adequately addressed in the critical drainage area.
The moderate benefits of housing supply, economic activity and good access to facilities were outweighed by the great harm to character and appearance and unresolved flood risk concerns, leading to dismissal.
