Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for the development having regard to its countryside location and flood risk
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of local residents with regard to drainage, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The substantial conflict with flood risk policy arising from the absence of a Flood Risk Assessment and unclear evidence on overnight use of the static caravan, which could not be adequately resolved through conditions, outweighed the absence of harm to character and appearance and living conditions.

No material considerations in favour of the appeal development outweighed the substantial conflict with flood risk policy and the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy SP15, Policy SP18, Policy SP19, saved Policy ENV1
