Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of The Former Rectory, with particular regard to privacy
  • The effect of the proposed development on protected species
  • The effect of the proposed development on the gap between Rowlands Castle and Havant

What decided it

The significant adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions, combined with insufficient evidence regarding protected species impacts, meant the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.

The moderate benefits of 14 affordable housing units and economic benefits during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, and potential adverse impacts on biodiversity.
