Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the provision of City Green Space
- The effect of the proposal on the health and vitality of off-site trees
- The effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets including the Scheduled Monument and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stoke Conservation Area
What decided it
The loss of designated City Green Space in an area with identified deficiency, combined with unmitigated harm to off-site trees, conflicted with the development plan and the benefits of the scheme were not of sufficient force to outweigh this conflict.
The benefits of housing supply, economic benefits from construction and occupation, and the reuse of brownfield land were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan regarding the loss of City Green Space and harm to trees.
