Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would result in an acceptable form of development having regard to the requirements of Policy SL8 of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan
- The effects on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposals would deliver appropriate levels of affordable housing
- The effects on designated Habitat Sites
- Whether the proposal has suitable connectivity in terms of pedestrian and cycle links (Appeal A only)
- Whether suitable surface water run-off management has been demonstrated (Appeal A only)
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the policy requirements for the cross-hatched area of the allocated site under Policy SL8 could be delivered, prejudicing the delivery of the policy through insufficient density and failure to provide or secure Gypsy/Traveller pitch provision.
The modest but meaningful contribution to housing supply and economic benefits attracted only moderate weight and did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
