Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the River Camel SAC
- whether the development plan would support the proposal in this location
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location within the Camel and Allen Valleys Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV)
What decided it
The proposal would have a significant and adverse effect on the integrity of the River Camel SAC that could not be adequately mitigated, breaching the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
The benefits of housing delivery, self-build provision, and compliance with the development plan were outweighed by the inability to satisfy the legislative requirements of the Habitats Regulations regarding the River Camel SAC.
