Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on ecology
- the effect of the proposed development on trees and woodlands
What decided it
The absence of adequate Ecological and Arboricultural reports meant the adverse impacts on ecology, trees and woodlands could not be properly assessed and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing benefits.
The significant harm to ecology and trees and woodlands, which could not be adequately assessed, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ST1Policy EV8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 99
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
