Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would result in an acceptable form of development having regard to the requirements of Policy SL8 of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan
- whether the proposal would secure appropriate levels of affordable housing
- whether the proposal would deliver a quality landscape having regard to tree cover
- whether the proposal would provide good, safe, attractive connectivity and legibility for cyclists and pedestrians
What decided it
Failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not prejudice delivery of the minimum dwelling and pitch requirements of Policy SL8 across the wider allocation, combined with failure to secure or justify the absence of appropriate affordable housing.
The significant, substantial and fundamental conflict with the development plan (Policy SL8 and affordable housing policy SL20) was not outweighed by other material considerations, including the timing of housing delivery on the allocated site, so the appeal was dismissed in accordance with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy SL8, Policy EE1, Policy SL20, Policy SL22
