Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • biodiversity including pollution

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan through material harm to landscape and visual character and insufficient evidence to prevent pollution and biodiversity harm, with limited benefits that do not outweigh these harms.

The limited economic benefits advanced were not fully quantified and did not outweigh the identified harms to landscape, visual character, biodiversity and the water environment, tipping the balance against the proposal.
