Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on flood risk
  • Whether the proposed development would be suitably located having regard to the development plan policy governing such proposals

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan as a whole on three independent grounds—character and appearance, flood risk sequential test, and unsuitable location for a new standalone storage use in the countryside—and no material considerations outweigh this harm.

Applying Policy S5 of the Framework, the benefits of the scheme would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects identified in relation to character and appearance, flood risk, and location, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework.
