Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for the form of development proposed, with due regard to development plan policy
  • Flood risk
  • The living conditions of future residents with regards to privacy, amenity space, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The combination of the unsustainable location in open countryside conflicting with development plan policy, the failure to undertake a robust Sequential Test for flood risk, and the significant harm to living conditions of future residents meant the adverse impacts demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits.

The limited benefits to housing supply and mix were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of unsustainable location, flood risk, and harm to living conditions, even allowing for the Written Ministerial Statement on building homes.
