Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the SPA, having particular regard to: whether the proposal is likely to have a significant effect on the SPA alone or in combination with other plans or projects; and if a likely significant effect cannot be ruled out, whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the integrity of the SPA.
What decided it
The Inspector's own Appropriate Assessment concluding, beyond reasonable scientific doubt, that the development would not adversely affect the integrity of the Breckland SPA.
with no adverse effect on the SPA found, the proposal accorded with the development plan read as a whole and secured beneficial re-use of the site, with moderate weight given to the boost to housing supply, and the appeal was allowed.
