Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there would be acceptable pedestrian connectivity to Brightwell Lakes
  • The effect of the proposal on nearby European Sites and the Newbourne Springs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
  • Whether adequate foul water treatment and disposal would be provided to serve the development

What decided it

The lack of safe pedestrian connectivity to Brightwell Lakes, combined with unmitigated adverse effects on European Sites and the SSSI, rendered the proposal unsustainable and in conflict with the development plan.
