Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development represents piecemeal development of the wider site and whether it makes adequate provision for affordable housing
  • Whether the proposed development provides an adequate mix of housing
  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
  • Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision of amenity space
  • Whether the proposed development adequately incorporates sustainable design features
  • Whether the proposed development would be provided with adequate drainage

What decided it

The absence of evidence demonstrating that the housing mix of four 4-bedroomed dwellings would meet local housing need, combined with the failure to provide an ecological assessment to establish baseline biodiversity and avoid net loss, were decisive in dismissing the appeal.
