Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC), with particular regard to nutrient neutrality, and the Dorset Heathland Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Protection Area (SPA), Ramsar and SAC
  • Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for facilities through developer contributions

What decided it

The mitigation measures secured through conditions requiring phosphate credit purchase and a Section 106 Agreement providing for Dorset Heathlands contributions and highways improvements ensured that the development would not have an adverse effect on the integrity of the protected European sites and would make adequate provision for necessary facilities.

Plan policies cited: Policy ME1, Policy KS9, Policy KS11, Policy LN3
