Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Flood risk
- The living conditions of future residents in respect of living space and residents of nearby properties in respect of privacy
- The character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to apply and satisfy the Sequential Test for flood risk in a high-probability flood zone, combined with breaches of internal space standards and privacy harm to neighbours, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 57Policy 56Policy 45Policy 10Policy 44Policy 41Policy 42
- National Planning Policy Framework
