Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
  • the integrity of the Solent Waters Special Protection Areas
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to traffic movements past No 52 Paxton Road
  • the safe and convenient use of the highway, with particular regard to parking

What decided it

The proposed development would be likely to adversely affect the integrity of the Solent Waters SPAs due to nutrient discharge, with no suitable mechanism to secure adequate mitigation, providing a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.

Although the development would contribute to housing supply and the Council could not demonstrate a five-year supply, the likely adverse effect on the integrity of the Solent Waters SPAs and conflict with the development plan on character and appearance provided clear reasons for refusal that outweighed the housing benefit.
