Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the proposed development would accord with local and national planning policy regarding flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptably oppressive living conditions for future occupants of the second bedroom due to severely restricted outlook, combined with the failure to submit a required site-specific Flood Risk Assessment for development in Flood Zone 2.
