Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to the development plan
  • the effect of the development on agricultural land
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the development, having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The appeal site's location in open countryside beyond the settlement boundary, combined with unacceptable harm to character and appearance, loss of Grade 1 agricultural land without justification, and failure to demonstrate that flood risk benefits outweigh the development's location in a high-risk flood zone, collectively rendered the development contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to override this conclusion.
