Why it was refused
- The proposed development constitutes a new residential dwelling within Flood Zone 2. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the Sequential Test, as required by the National Planning Policy Framework, has been satisfied. The Local Planning Authority is aware of reasonably available and suitable sites for residential development within Flood Zone 1, which are at a lower risk of flooding than the application site. As such, the proposed development has not been directed to an area of the lowest flood risk and its location has not been justified in accordance with the sequential approach. The proposal is therefore contrary to F5 of the National Planning Policy Framework which seek to steer new development to areas at the lowest risk of flooding and avoid inappropriate development APPLICATION NUMBER – 01277/26/FUL APFULZ in areas at risk of flooding.
From the council's decision notice.
