Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, in particular, the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
whether the development would be at an unacceptable risk of flooding or would exacerbate flooding elsewhere

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the outbuilding caused no harm to the character and appearance of the National Landscape and that the medium flood risk could be adequately mitigated by planning conditions.

Plan policies cited: Key Statement EC3, Policy DMB1, Policy DMB3, Key Statement EN2, Policy DMG1, Policy DMG2, Policy DME6

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
