Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the Broads Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar Site
  • Whether the location of the development is sustainable, regarding development plan policy
  • Whether the development results in a loss of employment space, contrary to development plan policy

What decided it

The development would have likely significant adverse effects on the integrity of the Broads Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar Site due to nutrient loading from residential foul effluent, with no adequate mitigation evidence provided to satisfy the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
