Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for neighbouring residents and future occupiers with regard to their privacy and outlook
- whether the development would provide a suitable mix of dwellings
- whether it is necessary to provide contributions towards affordable housing, education, biodiversity and open space through a planning obligation and if so whether an appropriate mechanism for securing these has been provided
What decided it
The site's allocation in the Edlesborough Neighbourhood Plan for 15 units, combined with satisfactory mitigation of highway safety concerns through the kerb build out and the development's accordance with the development plan taken as a whole, justified allowing the appeal.
The limited conflicts with ENP policy EP3 (regarding access route) and VALP policy H6a (regarding housing mix) were outweighed by the development's accordance with the development plan as a whole and the absence of other material considerations suggesting a different decision.
