Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is in a suitable location in terms of access to services and facilities
  • the effect of the development on the intrinsic character and beauty of the landscape
  • the effect of the development on the Chichester and Langstone Harbour Special Protection Area
  • whether there are other material considerations that need to be taken into account, including any that could outweigh any conflict with development plan policies, such as the need for gypsy and traveller accommodation within the District and the personal circumstances of the appellants and other site occupiers

What decided it

The presence (in Appeals B and C) or absence (in Appeals A) of a unilateral undertaking securing mitigation for recreational and nutrient effects on the Chichester and Langstone Harbour SPA determined whether each appeal complied with the development plan.

For Appeals B and C, no conflict with development plan policies (including the SPA policy, once mitigated) meant the proposals accorded with the development plan and were allowed under Policy 1; for Appeals A, unmitigated SPA harm caused conflict with the development plan as a whole and the appeals were dismissed.
