Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, having regard to the development plan, reliance on the private car and the accessibility of services and facilities
- whether the flood risks associated with the proposed development have been adequately addressed
What decided it
The appeal site's unsustainable location in a remote countryside area with poor accessibility to services and facilities, combined with inadequately addressed flood risks for a new independent dwelling, conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.

- CS01CS06DM1DM21
- National Planning Policy Framework
