Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the surrounding area in terms of drainage
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the setting, character or appearance of the Staveley Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to outlook, privacy and parking

What decided it

The proposal would have a likely significant adverse effect on the River Kent Special Area of Conservation due to inadequate assessment of nutrient neutrality and potential sewer surcharge, which could not be mitigated and outweighed the acceptable aspects of the scheme.
