Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed revisions would be acceptable having regard to flood risk and the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The absence of a required flood risk assessment meant the Inspector could not reasonably conclude the proposed revisions would not increase flood risk, and the removal of the bund would adversely affect character and appearance if tree planting could not be adequately established.

Framework references: 170, 181

Plan policies cited: Policy RM2, Policy S1, Policy E1, Policy S5, Policy E7
