Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether appropriate arrangements have been made to secure adequate infrastructure to mitigate the biodiversity impacts of the proposed development
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with specific regard to access
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to provide an executed and certified planning obligation to secure the required biodiversity mitigation contribution meant the proposal could not satisfy the requirement for net gain in biodiversity as required by Policy EM4 of the Local Plan and Policy RE3 of the Bramley Neighbourhood Plan.
