Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that the proposed development would have on the character of the surrounding area
- the safety and function of the Strategic Road Network (SRN)
- the integrity of the Chichester and Langstone Harbours Special Protection Area and the Pagham Harbour Special Protection Area (SPAs)
What decided it
