Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would give rise to likely significant effects on the integrity of the Chichester and Langstone Harbours Special Protection Area (the SPA)
- whether the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate outdoor amenity space
- whether the layout of the ground floor is likely to harm the viability of the proposed commercial units
- whether the proposal would harm the safety and function of the local and strategic road network
What decided it
The failure to secure a completed s106 agreement for the necessary financial contribution to mitigate recreational disturbance effects on the Chichester and Langstone Harbours Special Protection Area rendered the proposal unacceptable despite being acceptable on all other grounds.
