Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the spatial strategy for the location of new development and effect on the countryside
- The effect of the development on the Stodmarsh designated nature conservation sites
- The effect of the development on the setting of the grade II* listed Stanford Windmill
- Highway safety
What decided it
The likely significant adverse effect on the Stodmarsh designated nature conservation sites, which could not be ruled out in the absence of mitigation, outweighed the benefits of four additional dwellings and modest economic gains.
