Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the significance of the Grade II listed building known as Stratton House Hotel, in terms of how it is experienced in its setting
- whether insufficient information has been submitted regarding noise
- whether insufficient information has been submitted in relation to flood risk
What decided it
The failure to submit sufficient information demonstrating that the proposed development would be safe from flooding for its lifetime and would not increase flood risk elsewhere, in breach of Policy F7 of the Framework, substantially outweighed the economic and heritage benefits.
The economic, social and heritage benefits of continued investment in the listed building and tourism business were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of non-compliance with Policy F7 of the Framework regarding flood risk.
