Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the integrity of habitats sites
  • the character and appearance of the locality
  • the living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to outlook, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The absence of a controlling mechanism to secure the financial contribution to the Essex Coast RAMS to mitigate the likely significant adverse effect on the integrity of the habitats sites provided a clear reason for refusing the development.
