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.
Framework references: 12, 57, 111
Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy CDMP3, Policy CDMP6, Policy HP3, Policy HP9, Policy SP8
