Authority: Hart District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Murray D
Postcode: GU46 7AS

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the new development would lead to increased flood risk elsewhere and whether the occupants of the new dwelling would be vulnerable to flooding
The effect on biodiversity and whether there would be a net gain

What decided it

The technical evidence in the Flood Risk Assessment reasonably demonstrating that the proposal would not materially increase flood risk, combined with the visual appropriateness of the replacement dwelling and the ability to secure biodiversity net gain by condition, allowed the appeal to proceed in accordance with the development plan.

The benefits of replacing a single-storey dwelling with a well-designed three-bedroom house that accords with the development plan and would not materially increase flood risk or harm biodiversity outweighed the concerns raised by local residents about flooding and privacy impacts.
