Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for new housing development having regard to the spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties

- the effect on protected species and provision of biodiversity gain
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions combined with unmitigated impacts on protected species and failure to demonstrate water neutrality outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
the identified adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
