Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location would be suitable for the proposed development, with particular regard to flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species and habitats on The Cut river corridor
- whether there is an essential need for the proposed accommodation in the countryside
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate that the location was suitable with regard to flood risk (sequential test) and that it would not harm protected species and habitats, and these conflicts with the development plan were not outweighed by the identified need for accommodation.
the identified essential need for the accommodation did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from unresolved flood risk and potential harm to protected species and habitats
