Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of protected habitats sites
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pulborough (Church Place) Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the South Downs National Park (the SDNP)
- whether or not the proposed development would provide safe and suitable access for pedestrians and cyclists
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate and enforceable water neutrality mitigation measures to prevent adverse effects on protected habitats sites rendered the proposal non-compliant with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
