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.
