Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme would be a sustainable form of development by reason of location
What decided it
The unsustainable location of the site, requiring reliance on private cars for access to facilities and services, combined with the failure to secure mitigation for impacts on European Sites, meant the harm outweighed any benefits.
The limited environmental, social and economic benefits of the scheme were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts related to the unsustainable location and the likely significant adverse effect on the integrity of European Sites
