Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the location would be suitable for the proposal having regard to flood risk and safe emergency pedestrian access / egress arrangements
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to privacy
What decided it
The robust Flood Risk Assessment demonstrating safe emergency access and egress arrangements via an alternative pedestrian route, combined with the visual screening provided by existing trees and neighbouring properties, and compliance with design standards for privacy distances, justified allowing the appeal.
