Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regards to outdoor space, outlook and natural light
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers
- Whether the proposal would represent a suitable location for housing, with regard to the risk of flooding
- Cycle parking provision
What decided it
The absence of a sequential test to address the site's location in Flood Zone 2, combined with harm to character and appearance and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, rendered the proposal contrary to development plan policy and national guidance.
