Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be safe for its lifetime taking account of the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures likely to act on the existing building in the event of a flood

What decided it

The uncontested technical evidence that the existing building structure is capable of resisting the anticipated hydrostatic pressures from residual breach flooding to 0.5m depth, meaning the development would be safe for its lifetime and the flood risk exception test is satisfied.
