Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal adequately provides for sustainable transport measures including pedestrian and cycle movements.
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional need for local services, amenities and infrastructure arising from the development.
What decided it
Under the tilted balance, the substantial benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing and custom-build provision were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the limited-weight policy conflicts and landscape harm identified.
The substantial weight attached to housing delivery, affordable housing and custom-build housing, together with moderate weight given to highways, transport, economic, open space and biodiversity net gain benefits, outweighed the limited weight given to conflict with policies S7 and ENV5 and the limited landscape harm, so the tilted balance favoured granting permission.
