Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having particular regard to flood risk
- The effect of the proposal on the landscape character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Provost Farmhouse, with particular regard to odour emissions
What decided it
The failure to satisfy the Sequential Test for flood risk was the primary decisive factor, as the appellant provided no substantive evidence that reasonably available sites in lower flood risk areas could not accommodate the proposal.
