Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be at an unacceptable risk of flooding
whether the site would be a suitable location for this proposal, having regard to the spatial strategy and other material considerations

What decided it

The proposal would be at unacceptable risk of flooding as it would change the use from more vulnerable holiday use to highly vulnerable permanent residential use in Flood Risk Zone 3, contrary to the Planning Practice Guidance which prohibits such development regardless of mitigation measures.

Framework references: 165

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
