Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant Local Plan policies
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for the development with regards to flood risk
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring dwellings
- If the development is found to be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, and it fails the sequential test for flood risk in Flood Zone 3b.
