Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The plastic piling would be substantially obscured by timber finishes and a dark colour condition would ensure it blends with surroundings, preventing harm to the character and appearance of the Broads.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP7, Policy DM16, Policy DM43, Policy HOR3

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
