Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the Singleton and Cocking Tunnels Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and protected species and/or their habitats on or near the site

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and to protected species and their habitats would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, even in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.

the harm identified in relation to character and appearance and harm to protected species and/or their habitats would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of three new homes, jobs during construction, and support for local services, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
