Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building constitutes inappropriate development in an area at risk of flooding
- The effect of the building on the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside
- The effect of the building on nearby watercourses
- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The development causes multiple unresolvable harms including inappropriate development in a flood zone without risk assessment, harm to countryside character, inadequate drainage and pollution control, and unsafe highway access, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts with the development plan and NPPF.
