Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be in an appropriate location with regard to the Council's spatial strategy for development
- Whether the development would be in an appropriate location with regard to flood risk
What decided it
The similarity in travel patterns and sustainability implications between the existing guest house use and the proposed children's home use, combined with the absence of increased flood risk when bedrooms are located on the first floor, provided sufficient material considerations to outweigh the development plan conflicts.
