Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether there is an agricultural need for the proposed development
whether the proposed development would comply with policies which seek to manage the risk of flooding
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate an essential agricultural need for the development, combined with an inadequate flood risk assessment that did not properly apply the sequential test required by the Framework.

Framework references: 11, 163, 167, 168

Plan policies cited: Policy DEV15, Policy TTV26, Policy DEV24, Policy DEV35, Policy DEV23, Policy DEV25, Policy SH Env 7

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
