Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site and the design is suitable for the development of the proposed dwelling bearing in mind that the plot is narrow, and the relationship of the proposed bungalow to the streetscene
  • Whether there is a means of ensuring that the proposal will not cause impacts upon the integrity of Stodmarsh Nature Reserve

What decided it

The absence of suitable mitigation or assurance that the development would be nutrient neutral meant it would be detrimental to the ecological importance of Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, a protected European site, and therefore could not be permitted.

The suitability of the site and design for residential development was outweighed by the unresolved ecological impact on Stodmarsh Nature Reserve.
