Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be likely to have a significant effect or an adverse effect, alone or in combination, on a number of Essex Coast Special Protection Areas or, if necessary, provide satisfactory mitigation
- whether the proposal would be suitably and sustainably located having regard to national and development plan policies
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for community facilities
What decided it
The proposal would be likely to have a significant adverse effect, in combination with other development, on Essex Coast Special Protection Areas without satisfactory mitigation secured through a planning obligation.
The modest contribution to housing supply and the proposal's sustainable location did not outweigh its unmitigated effect on the Essex Coast Special Protection Areas.
