Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby homes
  • whether it has been shown that the site is suitable for the proposed development in relation to flood risk
  • whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
  • whether it has been shown that the site is suitable for the proposed development in relation to the effect on the significance of any archaeological interests on the site

What decided it

The proposal failed to provide sufficient evidence on four critical matters—living conditions, flood risk, biodiversity net gain, and archaeology—each of which independently conflicted with the development plan and national policy, and collectively these harms substantially outweighed the economic benefits.
