Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would accord with the spatial strategy of the Local Plan
- whether the development would preserve the settings of the grade II listed Compton Farmhouse and Barn and the grade II* listed Parish Church of St Mary, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Compton Conservation Area
- whether the development would affect the ecological value of the Solent designated ecological sites
