Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for new housing with regard to the local development plan and the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the integrity of the Debden Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site, Sandlings SPA, and the Stour and Orwell Estuaries SPA and Ramsar site
