Conditions and Reasons

Number
Condition
Complied Date
1
The proposed development would result in the partial loss of a main town centre use (Class E (C)) within a designated primary shopping area, without adequate justification that the use is no longer viable or needed. The application also fails to demonstrate compliance with the established retail hierarchy by directing appropriate uses to designated centres. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies D18 and D35 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 and Paragraph 90 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2
The proposed development, by virtue of its limited outlook and restricted natural light particularly to the bedroom, resulting from the proximity of an outbuilding to existing development , would fail to provide an acceptable standard of residential amenity for future occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D2 and D25 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011–2032, and the principles of good design set out in the National Design Guide.
3
The proposal, by virtue of its inadequate Flood Risk Assessment, fails to demonstrate that the development would be safe for its lifetime. The submitted information does not provide sufficient evidence of mitigation measures, emergency access arrangements, or consideration of climate change allowances. As such, the proposal conflicts with Policy D1 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011–2032 and Policy H3 of the Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Neighbourhood Plan and Paragraph 176 of the national Planning Policy Framework.
