Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area, which lies within the Dorset National Landscape, also referred to as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- whether the location is appropriate for the appeal development, having regard to the impacts and risks of flooding
What decided it
The conflict with development plan policies regarding harm to the National Landscape character and the failure of the sequential flood risk test, where reasonably available alternative sites at lower flood risk existed within the appellant's control.
