Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for tourism development
whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to its flood zone location and the provisions of the Framework
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers having regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet the requirements of local plan policies for countryside tourism development and does not pass the sequential test for flood risk, resulting in harms that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate economic and social benefits.
