Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 12 Warley Way, with particular regard to outlook and light
the integrity of designated European Sites

What decided it

The likely significant adverse effect on the integrity of the Hamford Water Special Protection Area and Ramsar site, which could not be adequately mitigated through the proposed planning condition, provides a strong reason for refusal that outweighs the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling.

the limited social, economic and environmental benefits of one additional dwelling in a sustainable location and contributing to housing supply do not outweigh the substantial harm to the integrity of the Hamford Water Special Protection Area and Ramsar site
