Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on local green space
- The effect of the proposed development on ecology
- The effect of the proposed development on parking and highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The identified harm in relation to loss of local green space, insufficient ecological assessment, and inadequate parking provision could not be overcome by the benefit of contributing to housing supply in an area with no five-year housing land supply.
The benefit of assisting with housing supply and being consistent with the Government's objective to boost housing supply was outweighed by the harm from loss of local green space, unresolved ecology concerns, and inadequate parking provision creating highway safety risks
