Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed developments would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Budleigh Salterton Conservation Area
- Whether the location would be suitable for the proposed development in Appeal A, with particular regard to flood risk
What decided it
In Appeal A, the failure to demonstrate that the sequential test for flood risk had been satisfied by considering reasonably available alternative sites in lower flood risk areas. In Appeal B, the replacement UPVC windows would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
