- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of 19 School Green Road, with regard to overlooking of private outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The absence of mitigation measures for likely significant effects on protected habitats sites, particularly the failure to submit a legal agreement for recreational pressure mitigation and the inability to confirm that wastewater would not increase nutrient inputs to the Southampton and Solent Waters SPA.
