Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be at or lead to an unacceptable risk of flooding
What decided it
The permeable nature of the hardstanding and drainage strategy, combined with the functional necessity of the location to the farm operation, means the proposal passes the sequential test and would not create an unacceptable flood risk.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy I4 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2021
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 171Paragraph 172Paragraph 62
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
