Why it was refused

  1. This planning application proposes highly vulnerable development (residential) within Flood Zone 2 and 3 for Rivers, as identified by the Natural Resources Wales Flood Map for Planning. However, the applicant has failed to adequately address the impacts of flooding on the development and prove that there would not be a detrimental impact on the water environment. As such, the proposal is deemed to be contrary to Policy CW5 of the LDP, as well as the guidance contained within Technical advice note (TAN) 15: development, flooding and coastal erosion (March 2025).

From the council's decision notice.
