Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the Framework
- if the proposal is inappropriate, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to its flood zone location and the provisions of the Framework
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate compliance with the sequential test for flood risk assessment required by national and local policy, which was not overcome by the extant planning permission or other material considerations.
