Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the intended occupants would be in an accessible location for everyday local services and facilities without car dependency
- whether the proposal would provide affordable housing and make contributions for education provision commensurate with the number of the likely new residents arising from the housing
What decided it
The failure to secure a signed Section 106 agreement to deliver affordable housing and education contributions, combined with the limited but real harm to landscape character, outweighed the housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of 17 houses and economic contribution to housing supply and local services were significantly outweighed by the limited landscape harm, unmitigated education infrastructure pressure, and failure to secure affordable housing and education contributions, assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
