Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the Solent and Southampton Water Special Protection Area
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the Solent and Southampton Water Special Protection Area due to increased nitrate disposal, which could not be adequately mitigated and provided a clear reason for refusal under Framework paragraph 180(a).
The modest housing and affordable housing benefits and the absence of harm to character and appearance carried moderate weight in favour, but the significant harm to the SPA as an area of particular importance carried substantial weight against, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
