Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in an increased risk of flooding
  • Its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with Core Policy 8 of the development plan by failing to adequately demonstrate how increased built form and surface water runoff would be managed without impeding floodwater flow or reducing floodplain capacity.
