Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not a fall-back position exists on the site
- whether or not the proposal is appropriate for its location
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether or not there are any reasonably available alternative sites with a lower probability of flooding
What decided it
The existence of a material fall-back position from an extant B8 use permission was of such significant weight as to outweigh the conflict with countryside location policies and justify allowing the appeal.
Plan policies cited: SP4, EP8, SP2, CDMP6, CDMP3, CDMP2
