Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the special scientific interest of the Cotswold Water Park Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

What decided it

The proposal would have an adverse effect on the flora of the SSSI which cannot be adequately mitigated, and the benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm, thereby conflicting with Local Plan Policies SP5, EN1, EN8 and EN9.
