Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national policies seeking to safeguard the loss of open space
- whether the proposed development would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area through the provision of ball stop netting
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of protected open space without clear justification and without community benefits that clearly outweigh the harm, contrary to policies CP7 and DM5.
The modest economic and housing benefits were outweighed by the significant harm caused by the loss of part of the protected open area and the conflict with the development plan taken as a whole.
