Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is an essential need for a rural worker's dwelling
  • character and appearance of the development
  • whether the development is intentionally unauthorised
  • whether the development complies with flood risk policy

What decided it

The dwelling failed to demonstrate an essential functional and financial need under Policy S4C, was not commensurate with the scale of the livery holding, and was sited in a high flood risk zone without meeting the sequential test, outweighing the limited benefits of the development.
