Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential use
  • Whether the site is appropriately located for commercial equestrian use, bearing in mind impacts related to highway safety
  • Whether the development complies with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the development makes appropriate provision for foul and surface water drainage
  • The impact on natural habitats

What decided it

The appeal site is located in open countryside outside any development boundary in an area at highest flood risk, and the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate compliance with development plan policies on residential use, commercial use location, flood risk, drainage and ecological protection.
