Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development having particular regard to the housing strategy for the area, including the coalescence of settlements and the provision of affordable housing
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development having particular regard to local and national flood risk policy
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on biodiversity, including the integrity of the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA), Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and RAMSAR site and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
What decided it
The cumulative conflict with the development plan's housing strategy, flood risk policy and biodiversity protection outweighed the benefits of the scheme.
the totality of the benefits from the scheme, site history and other developments in Goole were not sufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan
