Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The development fails to comply with the development plan on two independent grounds: it does not meet the exceptional design standards required for countryside residential development under Policy S4, and it has not been subject to the sequential test required by flood risk policy despite being in an area at highest future flood risk.
