Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposal, with specific regard to the local development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Sydling St Nicholas Conservation Area and Dorset National Landscape
- whether flood risk has been sufficiently assessed and will be appropriately managed
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—unsuitability of location contrary to Policy SUS2, harmful effect on the Conservation Area and National Landscape contrary to Policies ENV1 and ENV4, and insufficient flood risk assessment contrary to Policy ENV5—with no material considerations indicating otherwise.
Plan policies cited: Policy SUS2, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV4, Policy ENV5
