Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on flood risk
  • The effect of the proposed development on living conditions of the occupiers of Home Orchard, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance and fail to demonstrate adequate flood risk mitigation, with neither harm offset by the public benefits of the development.
