Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to its risk of flooding
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining dwellings with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The site's location in flood zone 3 (high probability) without evidence of sequential or exception testing, combined with failure to meet local plan criteria for new dwellings in coastal flood risk areas, was the decisive factor in dismissing the appeal.
