Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Flood risk
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing in respect of development plan policy
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance arising from the incongruous scale and design of the proposed dwellings, combined with the failure to satisfy the Sequential Test for flood risk, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be justified even allowing for the fallback Class Q conversion scheme.
