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

Development plan policies: Policy S4Policy ENV6
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 84Paragraph 177Paragraph 178
