Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon Habitats sites
- whether or not the proposed development is compliant with policies in respect of flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the countryside
- whether or not the proposed development would ensure satisfactory conditions for neighbouring and local receptors with particular reference to noise and dust
- the effect of the proposed development upon any future expansion of Gatwick Airport
- whether or not the proposed development is in a suitable location on the highway network and can be accessed safely
What decided it
The proposal fails to comply with the Habitats Regulations as it cannot be demonstrated that it will not adversely affect the integrity of the Arun Valley Habitats sites, which alone precludes the development from proceeding.
