Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal upon highway and pedestrian safety
  • Whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing
  • The provision of refuse and recycling facilities
  • Drainage and flood risk

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate safe and convenient access to the site, combined with inadequate provision for affordable housing and refuse facilities, and insufficient drainage detail, rendered the proposal contrary to the development plan.

the moderate benefit of delivering fourteen homes was outweighed by the heavy weight against the proposal arising from failure to secure affordable housing and the significant concerns regarding highway and pedestrian safety, refuse provision, and drainage
