Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether Unit 3 is justified in this location, having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the potential for flooding
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential functional need justifying a permanent rural workers' dwelling, and separately the flood risk exception test was not satisfied.
the limited/minimal weight given to the business and worker welfare benefits was outweighed by the moderate weight attributed to the conflict with the plan-led approach arising from the site's location outside the settlement boundary and within an area at future flood risk
