Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the flat with regards to outlook and light
  • The effect of the proposal on flood risk
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety with regards to parking and traffic flow

What decided it

The cumulative effect of three identified harms—inadequate living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook and light, unresolved flood risk concerns for a Highly Vulnerable use, and inability to secure a car-free scheme to mitigate highway safety impacts—could not be outweighed by the benefits of residential development.
