- Inspector
- Pannell G
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed pitches with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the development on the safety and convenience of highway users
- whether or not there are contamination risks which would be likely to make the site unsuitable for residential use
- whether the proposed use would adversely affect the integrity of the European designated nature conservation sites
What decided it
The absence of an agreed mitigation strategy to ensure nutrient neutrality and mitigate recreational disturbance impacts on the Broads Special Area of Conservation meant the proposal would adversely affect the integrity of European designated nature conservation sites in breach of the Habitat Regulations.
