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.
