Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the New Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar sites, and the River Avon SAC
- highway safety
What decided it
The proposals would adversely affect the integrity of the River Avon SAC through nutrient loading from wastewater discharge, and no sufficiently certain mechanism to secure mitigation could be imposed.
Although the proposals would provide housing and economic benefits, these modest benefits were outweighed by the likely significant adverse effects on the integrity of the River Avon SAC which could not be adequately mitigated, and the environmental objective of the Framework would not be achieved.
