Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character of the area and the significance of heritage assets including the Clavering Conservation Area.
- Whether the proposal is in an appropriate location having regard to the impacts of flood risk.
What decided it
The proposal failed the flood risk Sequential Test and could not demonstrate that the site would be safe from flooding, in particular safe access, throughout its lifetime, engaging paragraph 11d(i) of the Framework.
the benefit of housing delivery, including affordable housing, outweighed the less than substantial harm to heritage assets, but the harm arising from flood risk under paragraph 11d(i) of the Framework was not outweighed even by the substantial housing benefits
Framework references: 11
