Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including its effect on protected trees.
  • Whether the site is a suitable location for development having regard to local and national planning policy.
  • The housing land supply (HLS) position for Tewkesbury Borough Council.

What decided it

The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the site and local landscape from the loss of the protected woodland, which was found to outweigh the benefits including housing delivery.

The harm to character and appearance, loss of protected woodland, and conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme, including housing delivery attracting substantial weight due to the lack of a five-year housing land supply and the application of paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
