Whether the proposed houses would be safe from flooding and would comply with national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding.

What decided it

the significant weight attributable to the fallback 2011 permission outweighed the conflict with Policy ST50 and the Framework's sequential test requirements, so the appeal was decided otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
