Why it was refused

  1. The application site is in an area at risk from flooding and the application does not demonstrate that the proposal passes the Sequential and Exception Tests set out in policy CS3 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, and the National Planning Policy Framework. The Local Planning Authority is not, therefore, satisfied that there are no alternative sites in the area that are reasonably available for development and have a lower probability of flooding, or that the proposal would provide wider sustainability benefits to the community that outweigh the flood risk, or that the flood risks resulting from the development can be safely managed. The proposed development is, therefore, considered to be at an unacceptable and avoidable risk of flooding and may increase flood risk elsewhere, contrary to policy CS3 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, policy DM1 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1), the National Planning Policy Framework (and the associated Planning Practice Guidance).
  2. The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, layout, proportions, and its proximity to the ground-floor flat's garden and site's boundaries, would harm the living conditions of residents at two flats at the host building and neighbouring on the East and West by reason of overbearing impact, loss of outlook, loss of privacy, overshadowing and loss of light.

From the council's decision notice.
