Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether occupiers of the replacement dwelling would be at risk of flooding
  • whether the development can provide a policy-compliant net gain in biodiversity

What decided it

The fallback position of permitted development rights for a larger extension within flood zones 2 and 3 meant the replacement dwelling would result in less flood risk than the likely alternative, combined with the ability to secure biodiversity net gain through off-site credits and the proposal's consistency with the character and appearance of the area.
