Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition requiring biodiversity net gain is reasonable or necessary in the interests of biodiversity

What decided it

The condition is necessary to secure compliance with Policy NE2 of the Local Plan and the Framework's biodiversity objectives, and the variation to require submission prior to occupation rather than before works is appropriate given that construction has already commenced.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy NE2 of the Fareham Local Plan 2037

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
