Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to flood risk
What decided it
The glamping pod qualifies as farm diversification rather than a separate tourism use, justifying a limited search area for the Sequential Test to the farm itself, and the sustainability benefits of rural tourism diversification outweigh the flood risk when appropriate mitigation measures are secured by condition.
