Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development is acceptable with respect to flood risk
- whether the development is acceptable with respect to highway safety
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to local and national policy
- whether the development is acceptable with respect to biodiversity net gain (BNG)
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, flood risk, highway safety, and location—with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these conflicts.
