Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on highway safety
  • whether, with reference to accessibility, the schemes would be sustainably located
  • the effect on the spatial development strategy for the area
  • the effect on housing land supply

What decided it

The unacceptable and unmitigable highway safety impact at the Newgate Lane/Newgate Lane East junction, combined with significant harm to landscape character and the Strategic Gap, was found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the schemes.

Substantial weight attributed to housing supply, affordable housing and economic benefits fell well short of the weight attributable to the significant harm to character and appearance, the unacceptable highway safety impact, poor accessibility and harm to the Strategic Gap, such that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
