Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind that it would be within the setting of the Hedon Conservation Area
whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The proposal fails both the character and appearance test due to harmful intrusion into a key open area and heritage setting, and the flood risk sequential test due to inadequate evidence of site availability assessment, with the limited public benefits of affordable housing insufficient to overcome these substantial development plan conflicts.
