Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of Rose Cottage
  • Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location having regard to the relevant policies of the development plan and Framework
  • Whether the site is at an unacceptable risk of flooding
  • Whether the vehicular access is safe and suitable for all users and any effects on highway safety
  • The effects of the development on biodiversity

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions, highway safety, flood risk and biodiversity, combined with the site's unsuitability for development in the countryside, outweighs the economic benefits claimed.
