Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and amount of development

What decided it

The absence of a planning obligation or legal agreement to secure appropriate mitigation for likely significant effects on the ecological integrity of protected European sites rendered the location of the development unacceptable in principle.
