Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in an appropriate location with regard to flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Camperdown Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings, with regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The proposal failed the sequential test for flood risk by not adequately considering sites with extant planning permissions as reasonably available alternatives in lower flood risk zones.
The minor public benefits of a single dwelling and housing delivery were outweighed by the great weight given to the less than substantial harm to the Camperdown Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset.
