Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not adequate arrangements are made for the disposal of surface water from the site
  • The effect of the proposed development on the Exe Estuary Special Protection Area (the SPA), and on the Dawlish Warren Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents within Mount Pleasant Road and on the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed holiday caravans

What decided it

The Appellant's refusal to agree to a necessary pre-commencement condition regarding surface water drainage capacity over third-party land, combined with the failure to secure adequate mitigation for impacts on protected habitats, rendered the proposal unacceptable in planning terms.

The economic benefits of the scheme in terms of employment and visitor spend were outweighed by the identified harm relating to flood risk and impacts on protected habitats, to which significant weight was attached.
