Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on biodiversity, with particular reference to any direct effects on the Northumberland Shore Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and designated habitat sites on the Northumberland coast
  • the effect of the development on drainage, surface water flooding and coastal erosion
  • the effect of the development on the significance of the Coastal Artillery Battery on Blyth Links scheduled monument and WWII pillbox non-designated heritage asset
  • parking conditions in the vicinity with particular regard to effect on access to the beach and the provision of public visitor parking

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to protected habitats, heritage assets, and drainage/coastal erosion without adequate evidence of mitigation, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to override this.
