Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to national and local planning policies
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on designated habitats sites
What decided it
The absence of a suitable mechanism to mitigate harm to designated habitats sites in terms of increased nutrients and recreational activities meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this.
The benefits of housing delivery and the sustainable location of the dwelling were outweighed by the failure to demonstrate that designated habitats sites would not be adversely affected without satisfactory mitigation.
