Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would be suitably located in relation to flood risk, with particular regard to national and local planning policy
What decided it
The proposal failed to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk by not demonstrating that no reasonably available sites appropriate for the development existed in areas with lower flood risk, and it would harm the character and appearance of the area by appearing forward in the street scene and detracting from the open setting of Hendon Hall Court.
