Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to openness and whether there would be coalescence between the airport and existing development
  • the accessibility of the site
  • the setting of listed buildings
  • biodiversity and protected species

What decided it

The harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building Ryders, combined with harm to character and appearance, accessibility, and unresolved biodiversity concerns, outweighs the limited public benefits of housing delivery.

The harm to heritage assets, character and appearance, accessibility and biodiversity, each attracting significant weight against the proposal, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of four new dwellings and partial use of previously developed land.
