Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposal would be acceptable having regard to the risk of flooding

What decided it

The sequential test was not satisfactorily demonstrated because the submitted assessment too readily discounted rural sites and was limited to marketed land, leaving the Inspector unable to be confident that no reasonably available sites appropriate for the development existed in areas with lower flood risk.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 5Policy 2Policy 16Policy 26
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 165Paragraph 167Paragraph 168Paragraph 169

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.
