Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for the proposed development bearing in mind its rural location and in terms of accessibility to services
- Whether the proposal would result in a level of light spill to the detriment of the area
- Whether the proposal would lead to adverse effects on European Sites
What decided it
The development would cause a likely significant effect on the integrity of European Habitats Sites through nutrient pollution, with no formal mitigation strategy in place to ensure nutrient neutrality.
The benefits of providing one additional dwelling, in the context of a five-year housing land supply shortfall, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of nutrient pollution to European Sites, unsustainable location, and unmitigable light spill.
