Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for affordable housing relative to custom build housing
  • The effect of the proposal and access provision on the surrounding highway network
  • The ecological implications of the scheme

What decided it

The proposal's failure to provide appropriate affordable housing provision in accordance with Local Plan policies and its poor integration with the wider DA2 allocation through inadequate highway connectivity, combined with ecological concerns, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
