Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would be at risk of flooding

What decided it

The proposal would harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, and would present an unacceptable flood risk without a site-specific flood risk assessment, such that the benefits would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects when assessed against the Framework's decision-making policies.

Applying Policy S5 of the Framework, the benefits of farm diversification and the provision of a recreation facility were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents and the unresolved flood risk.
