Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on European Sites designated for their nature conservation importance

What decided it

The absence of a workable mitigation mechanism to demonstrate phosphate neutrality and avoid adverse effects on the River Avon European Sites in combination with other development.

The benefits of housing delivery were insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from the inability to secure nutrient neutral development and compliance with the Habitats Regulations.
