Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be acceptable with respect to flood risk
  • the effect of the development on highway safety
  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local policy

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan on flood risk and highway safety grounds, and these harms were not outweighed by the social and economic benefits of the scheme.
