Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the development having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The unmanaged and unevidenced flood risk to the site and its access/escape route, which could not be safely managed even with a flood warning and evacuation plan.

the modest benefits of the proposal (economic benefit to the appellant, meeting local storage need, and avoided noise/environmental harms compared with the fallback use) were outweighed by the harm arising from flood risk, so there were no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy SS1Policy SS9Policy SC7
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 174
