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
