Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the site as a location for a residential development, with particular regards to the requirements of the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the development upon highway safety
- the effect of the development upon flood risk
- the effect of the development upon biodiversity
What decided it
The cumulative adverse effects on location suitability, character and appearance, highway safety and flood risk, which conflict with the development plan taken as a whole and are not outweighed by the limited economic benefits or biodiversity improvements.
The biodiversity enhancement and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm arising from the location of the development and the adverse effects on character and appearance, highway safety and flood risk.
