Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Broads SAC/Ramsar with regard to nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The absence of nutrient neutrality mitigation to address the likely significant effects on the Broads SAC/Ramsar, combined with the unavailability of a mitigation scheme and the Inspector's refusal to impose a negatively worded condition, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be approved.
The benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, and the sustainable location were outweighed by the harm identified in relation to nutrient neutrality and the integrity of the Broads SAC/Ramsar.
