the benefits of housing delivery, efficient use of previously developed land, and self-build provision were outweighed by the significant harm to the integrity of European Designated Sites with regard to nutrient pollution and the conflict with the spatial strategy

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
