Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, with particular regard to the local development strategy
  • the effect of the proposal on any ecological features and protected species on the site
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing
  • the effect of the proposal on nationally and internationally protected sites, with particular regard to increased recreational disturbance and nitrate enrichment

What decided it

The proposal would have an adverse effect on the nationally and internationally protected Solent Special Protection Area, providing a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework based on its policies on conserving and enhancing the natural environment.

The modest benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan as a whole, including harm to protected species, failure to secure affordable housing, and likely significant adverse effects on the Solent SPA.
