Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the acceptability of the location of the proposal in respect of flooding
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would harm the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing dwelling at No 22 Brewery Road with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposal fails the Sequential Test for flood risk, as the appellant did not adequately demonstrate the absence of reasonably available alternative sites in lower flood risk areas.
the limited economic, social and housing benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the failure to pass the Sequential Test for flood risk, the harm to character and appearance, and the harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupiers
