Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The proposed location of development having regard to both local and national policies
  • The effect of the proposed development on the landscape character of the area
  • Whether or not the appeal scheme would increase flood risk
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to noise, the provision of private and public open space, parking, privacy and designing out crime
  • The effects of the proposal on nutrient levels within the Solent estuary
  • The effects of the proposals on biodiversity with particular regard to protected species
  • Whether or not the proposals include adequate provision for the necessary infrastructure directly required by this development
  • Whether a policy compliant amount of affordable housing has been included within the scheme

What decided it

The cumulative conflict of the scheme's location, design, living-condition and biodiversity shortcomings with multiple development plan policies was not outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery.

the economic, social and environmental benefits of housing delivery were an important material consideration but were not outweighed by the proposal's conflict with the development plan policies taken as a whole
