Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not the ecological impact of the development has been properly assessed
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety for all users
  • the suitability of the site for the development proposed having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The cumulative effect of unacceptable harm to character and appearance, unassessed ecological impacts, unresolved highway safety concerns, and undemonstrated flood risk compliance, in an area with substantial housing land supply, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of 38 dwellings.

The adverse impacts on character and appearance, biodiversity, highway safety and flood risk, together with unresolved section 106 obligations for affordable housing and other contributions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of 38 dwellings in an area of undisputed substantial housing land supply.
