Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would increase water usage at the property
- If so, whether it would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the Arun Valley SAC, SPA, and Ramsar site in relation to water neutrality
What decided it
The BREEAM Water Calculator demonstrated that the proposed residential use would consume marginally less water than the existing office use, achieving water neutrality without mitigation and thus preventing likely significant effects on the integrity of the protected habitats.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 31 of the Horsham District Planning Framework 2015
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
