Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal on highway safety and accessibility to facilities and services by means other than the car
  • The impact of the proposal on the integrity of the Solent SPA

What decided it

The provision of comprehensive highway improvements (road widening, junction remodelling, new pedestrian infrastructure and enhanced bus facilities) combined with effective mitigation of SPA impacts through the Section 106 agreement made the scheme acceptable despite the rural location and absence of a Long Lane pedestrian link.

The benefits of residential development in a Key Regeneration Area, addressing the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, and providing affordable housing contributions, outweighed the concerns about highway safety and SPA impacts, which were adequately mitigated through the proposed improvements and legal obligations.
