Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory provision for the storage of waste
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory provision for the storage of bicycles
  • the effect of the proposal on trees surrounding the site

What decided it

The absence of satisfactory waste storage provision, which would conflict with the Framework and development plan policies requiring development to function well and add to the overall quality of the area, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery on brownfield land.

the benefits of housing delivery on brownfield land and the significant weight given to using suitable land within settlements for homes were outweighed by the adverse impacts of inadequate waste storage provision
