Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the development on the integrity of European sites
  • the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the future occupants of the proposed dwellings in relation to privacy; and of occupants of 1 Hartsgrove Close in relation to outlook, noise-related disturbance and light intrusion

What decided it

The failure to secure adequate mitigation for likely significant effects on the integrity of European sites in relation to nutrients and recreational pressure, contrary to the Habitats Regulations and the development plan.

The social and economic benefits of providing a single additional dwelling in an accessible location and helping to address the Council's housing shortfall were clearly outweighed by the potentially adverse environmental effects on European sites.
