Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitably located for the development proposed, with regard to local and national policies
  • Whether there would be likely to be a significant effect on the internationally important features of the Exe Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and East Devon Pebblebed Heaths SPA

What decided it

The proposal's full adherence to paragraph 139(b) of the Framework as an outstanding and innovative design promoting high levels of sustainability, to which significant weight must be given, outweighed the conflict with local plan policies on location and sustainable transport.
