Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing having regard to the risk of surface water flooding

What decided it

The absence of a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment and surface water drainage information, combined with unresolved Lead Local Flood Authority concerns about overflow channel capacity and potential flooding elsewhere, meant the proposal could not be demonstrated to minimise flood risk in breach of Policy EQ11 and NPPF paragraphs 181-182.
