Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on flood risk

What decided it

The additional non-permeable surface area created by the extension is minimal given the existing conservatory and hardstanding, resulting in negligible increase in surface water run-off that does not conflict with flood risk policy.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy ER1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 182

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
