Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal is compliant with policies for mitigation and adaption to climate change
  • the effect of the proposal upon trees
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The planning obligation was defective and could not secure the necessary carbon offset contributions required by Policy SP2 and the Position Statement on Sustainability and Energy Efficient Design, resulting in non-compliance with climate change mitigation policies that outweighed the scheme's benefits.
