Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
  • The effect of the proposal upon the Dorset Heathlands Special Protection Area (SPA), Ramsar site and Dorset Heath Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The absence of legally secured mitigation measures, particularly the unsigned Unilateral Undertaking which could not provide binding protection for the Dorset Heathlands habitat sites and the lack of demonstrated phosphorous neutrality for the River Avon SAC, rendered the development contrary to development plan policies ME1 and ME2.

Plan policies cited: Policy ME1, Policy ME2
