Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect of the development on flood risk
  • effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • effect of the development on protected trees and hedgerows
  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan

What decided it

The proposal failed to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk by not demonstrating that reasonably available sites in lower flood risk zones were unavailable, which alone was sufficient to dismiss the appeal.
