Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the landscape character of the surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the integrity of European sites, with particular reference to nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The Inspector could not rule out an adverse effect on the integrity of The Broads SAC/Ramsar arising from uncertainty over the reliability of the sealed septic tank, which disapplied the presumption in favour of sustainable development and provided a strong reason to dismiss the appeal.
The significant benefits of meeting an identified gypsy and traveller need, compliance with Policy HO 4 and the absence of alternative sites were outweighed by the moderate harm to landscape character and the unresolved risk of adverse effect on the integrity of The Broads SAC/Ramsar, resulting in dismissal of Appeal C.
