Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for new residential development, having regard to the spatial strategy and the accessibility of services and facilities for future occupiers
  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for new residential development, having regard to its risk of flooding

What decided it

The site fails both the accessibility test due to unsafe pedestrian access along an unlit, unfootpathed road subject to the national speed limit, and the sequential flood risk test as no evidence was provided that no alternative sites exist in lower flood zones.
