Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for new residential development having regard to national and local planning policies
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Flood risk

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies that direct new housing to larger settlements and protect employment sites in rural areas, and fails the flood risk exception test as it would not provide sufficient sustainability benefits to outweigh the flood risk.
