Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there is an essential need to accommodate a rural worker on the site and the financial viability of the appellant's business
- whether the proposal would comply with local and national planning policy which seeks to steer development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential functional need for on-site residential occupation of the rural enterprise and the site's location in a high flood risk area where occupiers would face serious danger, with limited economic benefits insufficient to outweigh these substantial conflicts with the development plan and Framework.
