Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be habitats development under Article 5B of the Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) (Amendment) Order 2017
- In the event that permission in principle can be granted for the proposed development, whether the site is suitable having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute habitats development likely to have a significant adverse effect on the integrity of European protected sites without any legal mechanism to secure appropriate mitigation at the permission in principle stage, and therefore cannot be granted permission in principle under Article 5B of the Order.
