This section addresses the incomplete disclosure of material considerations and the lack of public awareness regarding the application’s consideration under Paragraph 11 of the NPPF. It emphasises the importance of transparency and informed public participation.
2. Impact on Traffic and Access:
This section discusses the increased traffic congestion and potential delays to emergency services due to the proposed development’s access plan leading to Lymington Bottom Road, a primary route to hospitals and other essential services.
3. Potential Procedural Error:
This section points out the potential procedural errors due to the failure to disclose all material considerations and the omission of a comprehensive EIA, which might undermine the integrity of the planning process.
