Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular reference to internal living standards
- the effect of the development on the Essex Estuaries Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Foulness and Crouch and Roach Estuaries Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site (SPA)
What decided it
The proposed dwelling fails to meet the Nationally Described Space Standards for internal living space, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers that cannot be outweighed by housing supply benefits, and the absence of a secured mitigation contribution means the development would adversely affect the integrity of the SAC and SPA.
The benefits of housing delivery and contribution to housing supply were outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions resulting from insufficient internal space and the likely significant adverse effect on the SAC and SPA due to lack of secured mitigation.
