Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the appeal site is in an appropriate location for housing development having regard to development plan policy and the settlement strategy
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Flood risk

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan and Framework on three independent grounds—unsustainable location outside the settlement hierarchy, significant adverse effect on rural character and appearance, and failure to pass the sequential flood risk test—with no material considerations including the fallback position outweighing these conflicts.
