Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether PiP can be granted for the proposal having regard to Article 5B of the Order
  • In the event that PiP can be granted for the proposed development, whether this would be in a suitable location for housing with regard to flood risk and harm to protected trees

What decided it

The proposal would be likely to have a significant effect on internationally designated European sites (Dorset Heathlands and River Avon SAC) and those effects cannot be excluded or mitigated at the Permission in Principle stage, making it habitats development which Article 5B of the Order prohibits.
