Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an essential need for a temporary dwelling to accommodate a rural worker at this location
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Flood risk
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate an essential functional need for a rural worker to reside permanently on the site, which in turn undermined the flood risk Sequential and Exception Tests and the case for the dwelling.
the SEND, community and rural economy benefits of the enterprise were of insufficient weight to outweigh the harm to character and appearance, the unmet essential need test, and the unacceptable flood risk, so the balance fell against the proposal and in accordance with the development plan
