Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The likely effect upon the integrity of the SAC and SPA

What decided it

The absence of a completed and signed Unilateral Undertaking to secure mitigation of recreational impacts on the SAC and SPA meant the proposal would have an adverse effect on the integrity of these protected sites.

The public benefits of housing supply and Council Tax receipts were outweighed by the harm to the SAC and SPA from unmitigated recreational pressures.
