Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Somerset Levels and Moors Ramsar Site

The proposed Package Treatment Plant mitigation is not environmentally acceptable or feasible given the site's proximity to a public foul sewer, leaving the phosphate surplus unmitigated and causing significant adverse effects on the Ramsar Site's integrity.
