Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on trees and biodiversity
  • highway safety, having particular regard to car parking and manoeuvring
  • whether the proposed development is consistent with the objectives of local and national policy with regards to location of housing
  • the effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate adequate parking and manoeuvring space without harmful impact on retained trees, combined with unsubstantiated biodiversity impacts, resulted in conflicts with development plan policies that could not be outweighed by the neutral heritage assessment or economic benefits.
