Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with regard to flood risk, including matters of safety and the potential for increased off-site flood risk
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the provision of private garden space
What decided it
The proposal would make effective use of a previously developed brownfield site for housing while providing acceptable living conditions and managing flood risk appropriately, outweighing the modest policy conflict regarding garden depth.
