Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is well located with regard to its access to services and facilities
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Biggleswade Road with respect to private outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the loss of Best and Most Versatile agricultural land (BMV)
- whether there are any other material considerations that indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan policies
What decided it
The substantial benefit of providing 16 entry-level affordable units, including 10 social rented units for which there is an acute need in the district, outweighed the moderate harm from conflict with settlement boundary and accessibility policies.
