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.
