Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Grade II listed Bache Mill House
  • the effect of the proposed development on the protected species of great crested newts

What decided it

The proposal would not be in a suitable location for housing having regard to the local development strategy, as it would constitute market housing in the countryside contrary to policies CS1, CS4, and CS5, and the minor public benefits do not outweigh this harm or the less-than-substantial harm to the listed building setting.

The minor public benefits of the scheme (play area, public access, ecological enhancements, and minor contribution to housing supply) do not outweigh the significant harm caused by conflict with the local development strategy and less-than-substantial harm to the setting of Bache Mill House.
