Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed developments on the integrity of Habitats Sites
  • The character and appearance of the area
  • Highway safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers (Appeal A only)

What decided it

The inability to rule out adverse effects on the integrity of Habitats Sites due to potential nutrient pollution from wastewater discharge and the absence of satisfactory mitigation measures.

Compliance with the Local Plan in respect of character and appearance, highway safety and living conditions was outweighed by the conflict with the Framework in relation to adverse impacts on the integrity of Habitats Sites and harm to the natural environment.
