Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed having regard to the built extent of Harby and the setting of Apple Drop Barn
- whether the proposal would be safe from flood risk
- whether the proposal would be compatible with the visual amenity and biodiversity of the area with specific regard to its effect on trees and hedgerows
What decided it
The site's location within open countryside beyond the built extent of Harby, combined with the failure to adequately demonstrate compliance with the sequential test for flood risk, resulted in significant development plan conflict with no material considerations to outweigh it.
