Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on flood risk, with particular regard to the safety of future occupiers of the development

What decided it

The absence of a formal agreement securing the proposed place of refuge and the lack of substantive information demonstrating safe access and escape routes for all vulnerabilities during extreme flood events meant the proposal could not meet paragraph 173 of the Framework.
