Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there would be sufficient parking provision and suitable vehicular access in relation to highway safety
  • Whether there is suitable evidence or mitigation to demonstrate that there would not be significant detrimental effects on the integrity of European Sites in relation to nutrient enrichment

What decided it

The absence of adequate evidence regarding nutrient neutrality mitigation, specifically phosphorus and nitrate levels and details of the proposed water treatment centre, meant the development could not be shown to comply with policies requiring protection of natural assets and water quality.
