Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there is sufficient information to ascertain that the local road network would not result in severe cumulative residual effects as a result of the proposal, and if so, whether such effects would occur
- whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for affordable housing and infrastructure
What decided it
The securing of a contribution towards the spine road through the planning obligation ensures that when the wider SD3 allocation is complete, the double mini-roundabout will operate within capacity, thereby avoiding severe residual impacts on the local road network.
The proposal accords with the development plan as a whole, particularly the strategic allocation in Policy H SP2a, and no material considerations indicate otherwise; the lack of a five-year housing land supply adds further support for granting permission.
Framework references: 11, 57, 111, 174
