Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the agricultural use of the building is harmful to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific reference to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on flood risk
What decided it
The absence of a flood risk assessment demonstrating that the development will be safe throughout its lifetime and will not increase flood risk elsewhere, which conflicts with policy F7 of the Framework and is a material consideration of considerable weight.
The limited benefits of approving the appeal development are substantially outweighed by adverse effects, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development set out in policies S3 and S5 of the Framework does not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026
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.
