Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Application for costs 2. An application for costs was made by Mr Ray King against Eden District Council. This application is the subject of a separate Decision. Main Issue 3. The main issue is whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the risk of flooding. Reasons 4. Policy DEV 2 of the Eden District Local Plan 2014 – 2032 (the Local Plan) relates to Water Management and Flood Risk and sets out criteria in respect of the location of new development which must be met, including that it meets the sequential approach to development in flood risk areas. It states that inappropriate development will not be permitted in Flood Zones 2 and 3, critical drainage areas or areas which have a history of groundwater flooding, or where it would increase flood risk elsewhere unless there is an overriding need and a clear absence of a suitable alternative site. Further, if sites, as an exception, need to be developed in areas at risk of flooding, suitable flood protection measures will be required. 5. Paragraph 155 of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) states that inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk (whether existing or future). Where development is necessary in such areas, the development should be made safe for its lifetime without increasing flood risk elsewhere. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 7 Appeal Decision APP/H0928/W/19/3222726 6. Paragraph 158 of the Framework states that development should not be allocated or permitted if there are reasonably available sites appropriate for the proposed development in areas with a lower risk of flooding. 7. The appeal site is located adjacent to Skirsgill Lane and is an island within flood zones, the site itself being within Flood Zone 2 (medium probability of flooding) and the surrounding land Flood Zone 3 (high probability of flooding). Whilst the site is located within Flood Zone 2 and in their decision notice the Council refer to Flood Zone 3, in their consultation response in respect of this proposal, the Environment Agency (EA) stated that following completion of further hydraulic modelling of the River Eamont the proposed site is highly likely to be re- classified as Flood Zone 3. Given the EAs’ role in flood risk management I attach significant weight to this. 8. The appellant submitted a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) with their planning application which identifies that the risk of flooding from groundwater is low, contrary to the Council’s contention. Nevertheless, it confirms that the site is at high risk of flooding from main rivers/watercourses. 9.
