Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for its occupiers, particularly in relation to outdoor space, refuse storage, and access arrangements
- The effect on the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site, with regard to nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The absence of secured nutrient mitigation at the time of determination, which is a critical statutory requirement under the Habitats Regulations that cannot be satisfied by planning condition, combined with the substandard living conditions for future occupiers.
