Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would comply with local and national planning policy, which seeks to steer new development away from the areas at the highest risk of flooding
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the extent to which the proposed development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the St Neots Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants

What decided it

The failure to adequately demonstrate that the sequential test for flood risk had been properly applied, combined with the harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, outweighed the moderate weight given to the personal circumstances of the wheelchair user.
