Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the surrounding residential properties in respect of noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located in relation to flood risk
What decided it
The substantial harm identified in relation to the suitability of the proposed development in relation to flood risk, specifically the lack of a safe access and egress route with flood depths exceeding acceptable thresholds at multiple points along the evacuation route, significantly outweighed the moderate benefits of residential delivery and economic benefits.
