Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The impact of the development on internationally designated habitats sites
What decided it
The absence of clear and certain mitigation to prevent adverse effects on the integrity of internationally designated habitats sites, which engaged the statutory prohibition in the Habitats Regulations and paragraph 195 of the Framework, outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The benefits of providing an additional dwelling and contributing to housing supply were outweighed by the conflict with development plan policies protecting habitats sites and the inability to secure adequate mitigation for likely significant effects on protected wildlife sites
