Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
whether sufficient car parking would be provided
whether the proposal is acceptable in relation to flood risk

What decided it

The proposal's location on a brownfield site in the most sustainable location in the district (King's Lynn town centre) and its compliance with the development plan's reliance on windfall housing and flood-zone allocations, combined with acceptable mitigation of all identified concerns, justified allowing the appeal.

the redevelopment of an unattractive brownfield site with two dwellings adding to the housing stock near the town centre, with wider sustainability benefits, outweighed the flood risk
