The tier sentence ¶25

“provide limited support to local services”

Summary

A larger Georgian-style replacement house on the edge of Elton. The site is in Flood Zone 1 but at 1-in-30 surface water risk and susceptible to groundwater, so F4(2)(c) required a site-specific flood risk assessment; none was provided. The formal design was also discordant with the informal street. Both F7 and DP3 were treated as "should be refused" policies under S4(2)(c), and the limited benefits were substantially outweighed. Dismissed.
