Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be served by a suitable and safe access
  • the aforementioned planning obligations

What decided it

The finding that the access was safe and suitable and that the proposal accorded with the development plan on both main issues.

The considerable benefits of the scheme, including significant weight for boosting housing supply and providing affordable housing, clearly outweighed the modest negative weight attached to the loss of the ridge and furrow non-designated heritage asset.
