Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development in flood risk terms, having regard to the flood zone, off-site implications, and the sequential test
  • whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development in the countryside
  • the overall planning balance having regard to any benefits

What decided it

The proposal failed the flood risk sequential test (being located in Flood Zone 3b with reasonably available lower-risk alternative sites) and was not an acceptable form of development in the countryside.

Substantial weight afforded to the conflict with flood risk and countryside policies clearly outweighed the significant, moderate and limited weight afforded to the economic, environmental and highway benefits.
