- Inspector
- Bayliss G
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the development strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area including designated heritage assets
- Whether the proposal would comply with national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
What decided it
The moderate level of less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given, combined with harm to character and appearance and unresolved flood risk concerns, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing one self-build dwelling.
