Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the integrity of European habitat sites; the Deben Estuary Ramsar site, the Deben Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and the Stour and Orwell Estuaries Ramsar
- the effect of the development on the locally listed appeal building and the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the internal floor space, outdoor amenity space and air quality
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on European protected habitat sites, combined with demonstrable harm to the locally listed building, character and appearance of the area, and living conditions of future occupiers, clearly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing three additional dwellings.
The benefits of much needed housing in a sustainable location were outweighed by the significant adverse effects on European habitat sites, the locally listed building, character and appearance of the area, and living conditions of future occupiers.
