Environment Agency Objects to Ryde Hotel Development Due to Flood Risk
What happened
The Environment Agency has objected to plans to convert the former Terminus Hotel on St Johns Road in Ryde into a ten-bedroom hotel, complete with a guest lounge and dining area. The Agency stated that an adequate flood risk assessment had not been provided for the application. The Agency further noted that the submitted assessment failed to consider whether the development could increase flood risk elsewhere or account for the effects of climate change.

Why it matters
The objection requires the applicant to address the Agency's concerns before the application can move forward. The applicant's agent had previously stated the development was acceptable in flood risk terms and complied with national planning policy.
