Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development, including the associated road layout on the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the locality
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity, with particular reference to local badger habitat
What decided it
The evidence demonstrated that the proposed road layout had sufficient capacity and that the mitigation measures would ensure safe conditions for all users, while the badger mitigation strategy complied with Government guidance and would not result in harm to badger interests.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole with no considerations individually or cumulatively that outweigh this accordance.
