Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would lead to the loss of open space
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site does not constitute protected open space under the Framework, and the proposed development would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, representing sustainable development that accords with the development plan.
The benefits of providing two family-sized houses, economic benefits during construction and occupation, environmental enhancement of degraded land, and provision of public open space attract significant weight and outweigh the limited weight afforded to the Asset of Community Value listing and recent planning permission for public open space and allotments, which have uncertain implementation prospects.
