Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the integrity of the Deben Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and RAMSAR site and the Stour and Orwell Estuaries SPA/RAMSAR sites

What decided it

The proposal's low height and positioning would preserve openness and rural qualities between buildings, and the secured financial contribution to the RAMS would mitigate effects on European designated sites.
