Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for holiday accommodation having regard to flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to satisfy the Sequential Test for flood risk, combined with the significant adverse visual impact on character and appearance, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- RM 2E 1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 162Paragraph 163
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
