Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing, healthcare and public open space

What decided it

The absence of an executed S106 Agreement or Undertaking to secure contributions towards affordable housing and healthcare provision meant the proposal could not meet the requirements of Local Plan Policies HP3 and SP8, which was an overriding concern that warranted dismissal despite acceptable findings on character and highway safety.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SP2Policy CDMP3Policy CDMP6Policy HP3Policy HP9Policy SP8
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 12Paragraph 57Paragraph 111
