Core Refusal Reason
The Planning Authority refused permission based on flood risk policy in Appendix 13 of the Development Plan (Flood Zone A); however, the Inspector overturned this, recommending a grant because the minor scale of the development (10.3m²) does not significantly increase flood risk.

- The development would not adversely impact the visual or residential amenities of the area and is consistent with the established residential character and zoning of the site.
- The planning history of the property, which includes a previous grant for a porch, further supports the acceptability of the current proposal despite the Flood Zone A designation.
