Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in this case is the effect of the development on housing choice in the Borough, with particular regard to the type and density of the proposed housing, and the design and layout of the scheme, including trees.

What decided it

The proposal's failure to deliver a high quality, high value executive residential development in accordance with the site's allocation and design expectations, and the resulting conflict with the development plan.

The very substantial weight given to harm from the failure to deliver a high quality executive scheme and conflict with development plan policies outweighed the moderate weight given to housing and economic benefits, so the balance tipped against the proposal.
