Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on flood risk
- The effect of the development on the river's habitat
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the river channel
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The absence of a site-specific flood risk assessment and ecological survey for development in Flood Zone 3(b) adjoining the river, combined with the development's failure to be set back from the watercourse, rendered it impossible to properly assess compliance with flood risk and biodiversity policies.
