Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site provides a suitable location for the mixed use of the land
- Whether the site is appropriate for the development in terms of flooding and whether there are sufficient drainage measures in place
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location in the countryside outside settlement boundaries, combined with its location in Flood Zone 3 without sequential testing and the visual intrusion caused by residential use and associated development, rendered the mixed use contrary to development plan policies and unsuitable for the proposed development.
