Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- protected trees
- the SAC as a protected site
What decided it
The identified harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the absence of sufficient information to eliminate potential effects on protected trees and the SAC, conflicted with the development plan in a way that moderate weight attributed to housing and economic benefits could not overcome.
The moderate weight attributed to the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits did not outweigh the identified conflict with the development plan regarding character and appearance harm and insufficient information on protected trees and SAC effects.
