Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the Crouch and Roach Estuaries Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site and the Essex Estuaries Special Area of Conservation
  • whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The absence of a signed Unilateral Undertaking to secure the required mitigation contribution for recreational disturbance impacts on the Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation rendered the proposal unable to comply with the Conservation of Habitat and Species Regulations 2017.
