Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- the integrity of European sites, with particular regard to nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and would potentially adversely affect the integrity of the River Wensum SAC, with the latter triggering the strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework even in the context of housing land supply shortfall.
The positive contribution to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the unacceptable impact on highway safety and the potential adverse effect on the River Wensum SAC, which provided a strong reason for refusal under the Framework's presumption in favour of sustainable development.
