Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is acceptable in flood risk terms, with particular regard to the application of the sequential test
What decided it
The proposal's failure to pass the sequential test, which forms a fundamental part of flood risk planning policy and is sufficient to establish conflict with the development plan as a whole.
The benefits of the development, particularly brownfield redevelopment, were insufficient to outweigh the harm brought about by the failure to pass the sequential test and the ensuing conflict with the development plan.
