Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would comply with national and local planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
  • Whether the proposed dwelling would cause unacceptable harm to neighbours' living conditions, with regard to overlooking and privacy

What decided it

The proposed development fails to comply with flood risk policy requirements (sequential and exception tests, and EA mitigation advice) and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbours' privacy, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
