Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would satisfactorily address the potential loss of biodiversity
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents of 2, 3 and 4 Troon Close, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the linear pattern of development and modest plot sizes, combined with the unresolved potential loss of biodiversity, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of the scheme, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The moderate benefits of housing delivery, efficient use of land and accessible location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the unresolved potential loss of biodiversity, such that the tilted balance did not favour the proposal.
