Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on designated and non-designated heritage assets

- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide a site-specific flood risk assessment for development in flood zone 2, combined with the poor design quality that does not reflect the historic agricultural character of the site, resulted in conflicts with national and local planning policies that were not outweighed by material considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4Policy DM8Policy DM12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 209Paragraph 173Paragraph 115
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
