Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development upon the safety of highway users
  • The effects of the proposed development upon the availability of best and most versatile agricultural land

What decided it

The low scale of the development and the absence of evidence of severe transport implications or significant loss of best and most versatile agricultural land meant the proposal accorded with the development plan and was acceptable.

The benefits of residential development and affordable housing contribution outweighed the limited concerns raised regarding highway conditions and agricultural land loss, with the development found to accord with the development plan.
