Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • its effect on ecology
  • its effect on the vitality of Hadleigh
  • the accessibility of the development by sustainable means
  • whether or not the development would prejudice the take-up of allocated sites

What decided it

The substantial economic benefits from employment provision and biodiversity enhancement outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance and limited harm from accessibility constraints, with the development according with an up-to-date development plan.
