Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development mitigates against its effect on the Chichester and Langstone Harbours Special Protection Area
  • The impact on the Strategic Road Network and Local Highway Network

What decided it

The failure to secure adequate mitigation against detrimental effects on the Special Protection Area, combined with inadequate evidence of compliance with highway infrastructure requirements, meant the adverse impacts outweighed the limited housing benefit.

Plan policies cited: Policy 50, Policy 9, Policy L9, Policy I1, Policy T1, Policy T2
