Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development to areas with the lowest probability of flooding and whether there are any material considerations that would justify a decision other than in accordance with planning policy
What decided it
The proposal would result in an intensification of residential occupation in an area of acute flood risk without demonstrating compliance with the sequential test or satisfying the Exception Test requirements, and conflicts with the precautionary approach mandated by SADMP Policy DM18 for the Coastal Hazard Zone.
Framework references: 165
Plan policies cited: Policy CS08, Policy DM18
