Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the development on the integrity of European sites in relation to: (a) nutrients, (b) recreation and (c) air quality
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to secure adequate mitigation for likely significant adverse 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 and helping to make better use of the site were clearly outweighed by the potentially adverse environmental effects on European sites
