- Inspector
- Gilbert-Wooldridge T
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the provision of community facilities and employment
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- whether the proposed development should make provision towards off-site sports and leisure facilities and primary and secondary education
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the provision of community facilities and employment through the loss of the medical surgery without adequate evidence of replacement provision or viability assessment.
The modest benefits from housing delivery and sustainable location were outweighed by the significant adverse effect on community facility provision and the unresolved biodiversity and infrastructure contribution issues.
