Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character of this countryside location
Whether the proposal would give rise to unacceptable highway conditions due to the capacity of the surrounding roads
The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Protected Lane
The effects on biodiversity

What decided it

The Inspector found that, with agreed highway improvements and biodiversity mitigation, the proposal caused no unacceptable harm to countryside character, the Protected Lane, highway safety or biodiversity, and therefore no conflict with the relevant development plan policies.

Framework references: 174

Plan policies cited: Policy S7, Policy S8, Policy ENV9, Policy GEN7

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
