Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to flood risk
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to noise and with reference to the operation of the nearby Port of Felixstowe
- the effect of the proposal on open space in the local area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the sequential test for flood risk had been passed, combined with the absence of a noise assessment to ensure satisfactory living conditions and the unmitigated loss of open space, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
