Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Aqualate Mere Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which is part of the Midland Meres and Mosses Phase 2 Ramsar which is a European Designated Site
  • whether the proposed development would result in acceptable living conditions for future residents of the permitted nearby housing development to the west, with regard to odour, flies and outlook

What decided it

The Inspector could not rule out, applying the precautionary principle, an adverse in-combination effect of ammonia/nitrogen emissions on the integrity of the already-failing Aqualate Mere SSSI/Ramsar European Designated Site.

the economic benefits of the building to the farm and British agriculture were insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017
