Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal scheme would affect the approved development of Hampton Park
  • the effects on the delivery of employment-related development
  • the effects on nearby existing waste infrastructure

What decided it

The risk that implementing the scheme would jeopardise delivery of the wider Hampton Park Urban Extension's approved housing and employment uses outweighed the benefits of the proposed 71 dwellings.

the adverse impacts of granting permission (harm to delivery of the wider Hampton Park scheme's housing and employment elements) would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of up to 71 dwellings (including 30% affordable housing) and minor biodiversity net gain, notwithstanding the tilted balance being engaged
