Land 100 Metres North Of Dalchonzie Comrie

1. 1.The proposed access to and from the dwellinghouse is located within a flood risk area, as defined by the 1:200 year plus climate change extents. During such a flood event, the proposed dwellinghouse would be surrounded by flood water, and a safe access route for the movement of people (not just vehicles) of all abilities (including on foot or with mobility assistance) between the dwellinghouse and a place of safety outwith the flood risk area cannot be delivered. The proposal is therefore contrary to the principles of Policy 22 (Flood Risk and Water Management) of the National Planning Policy 4 (2024), and SEPA's guidance for new development within areas which are liable to be at risk from flood water as both look to secure a safe means of access to and from a new development during a flood event. Justification The proposal is not in accordance with the Development Plan and there are no material reasons which justify departing from the Development Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
