Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
  • the effect of the proposed development on flood risk
  • the effect of the proposed development on the public footpath

What decided it

The adverse impacts of the proposal on character and appearance, flood risk, footpath security and biodiversity interests would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
