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 proposal fails on three independent grounds: inadequate living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook and light, undemonstrated flood safety for a highly vulnerable basement use in Flood Zone 2, and inability to secure car-free status through planning controls to mitigate highway safety impacts.
