1. The proposed construction of 4no. industrial units would result in an unacceptable urbanising impact which would be detrimentally harmful to the countryside, thus the proposals would be contrary to Policies S5, DM1 and DM18 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036), and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
2. The proposed development would result in an adverse impact upon the nearby Moorgreen Meadows SSSI (north and east) by reason of its close proximity and sensitivities of the flora associated with the SSSI (marsh orchid), thus the proposals would be contrary to Policies DM1 and DM11 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036), the Council’s Biodiversity Supplementary Planning Document (2009), and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
3.
