Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety and the operation of the highway network
  • The extent to which the proposed development is consistent with national planning policy and the development plan for the area
  • Whether any harm caused by the loss of the undesignated heritage asset is outweighed by the benefits

What decided it

The absence of any demonstrable highway safety or network harm, combined with the schemes' accordance with the development plan and their contribution to addressing an acknowledged housing land supply shortfall, decided the appeals in favour of the appellant.

For Appeal A, the significant benefits of housing delivery, sustainable urban extension, employment and community facilities, together with compliance with the development plan, were not outweighed by any identified harm; for Appeal B, the moderate weight given to the loss of the non-designated heritage asset was substantially outweighed by the public benefit of enabling the Perryfields development.
