Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in the countryside, and whether it can be demonstrated that it meets the sustainable development needs of the area in terms of economic, community or environmental benefits
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- Whether the development would comply with local and national policy which seeks to ensure that inappropriate development in areas of flooding should be avoided
What decided it
The unresolved conflict with countryside, design, living conditions and flood risk policies, none of which could be satisfactorily addressed by conditions, outweighed the claimed benefits of the business.
the harm to character and appearance, living conditions and the unaddressed flood risk, together with conflict with the development plan, outweighed the appellant's claimed economic and employment benefits, so permission was refused
