Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for employment development, having regard to local policies on development in the countryside
  • The effect of development on best and most versatile agricultural land
  • The effect of development on flood risk

What decided it

The development conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding employment location strategy, character and appearance, agricultural land protection, and flood risk sequential testing, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts.
