Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed scheme would be in a suitable location, with reference to policies concerned with development in areas at risk of flooding
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, and whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to light, privacy and outlook
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposed scheme would be in a suitable location with reference to flood risk policies, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, provided strong reasons for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.
The benefits of housing delivery, community facilities, brownfield reuse, biodiversity net gain and economic benefits were outweighed by the unacceptable effect on neighbouring living conditions, unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and the failure to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk, which provided a strong reason for refusal.
