Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether future occupiers of the development would be safe from flooding

What decided it

The updated Environment Agency flood map placing the site in flood zone 1 with low probability of flooding rendered the Council's outdated Strategic Flood Risk Assessment guidance unreasonable as a basis for refusal.
