A planning officer has proposed that plans from James Dyson to build a school of design in Bath should be refused.
The Dyson Foundation, which is the charitable arm of James Dyson's vacuum cleaner company, recently submitted plans to create the business school, reports the Bath Chronicle.
The charity has already had to defend the location of the proposed school, which backs onto the River Avon.
It has been criticised by the Environment Agency as a site which may experience flooding, much to the charity's frustrations.
The foundation said in a letter to the council that it is "disappointed and profoundly frustrated that the agency does not appear to have fully considered the evidence" regarding the flood risk.
A recommendation for refusal is confusing to the Dyson Foundation, it says: "The full report has yet been published so we don't know why a refusal is being recommended."
James Dyson created the first Dyson model after opening his a research centre in Wiltshire in 1993.
