Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed office building on sustainable development objectives, including sustainable transport, in the rural area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with respect to car parking provision and visibility at the proposed access
- The effect of the proposed development on flood risk with respect to the resistance and resilience to flooding of the office building
What decided it
The proposed development failed on all three main issues: it was unsustainable in a rural location lacking public transport, it would create material parking stress and highway safety concerns, and it had not been subject to the required sequential flood risk test with unresolved concerns about flood resistance and resilience.
