- Inspector
- Clowes M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be consistent with planning policies relating to housing in rural areas, including with regard to its effect on the character and appearance of its surroundings
- Whether the location of the development is acceptable with regard to flood risk
What decided it
The proposal fails to satisfy the sequential test for flood risk by not demonstrating the absence of reasonably available alternative sites at lower flood risk, and conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by locating new housing outside defined settlement limits in an area where only limited forms of development are permitted.
