Core Refusal Reason

The proposal was refused due to its negative impact on residential amenity (overbearance), the absence of a Site Specific Flood Risk Assessment for a site in Flood Zone A, and the inclusion of a basement in a high-risk flood area.

  • The inclusion of a basement level for residential use in Flood Zone A is contrary to the general presumption against such developments in high-risk flood areas.
