Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the benefits associated with the proposal would outweigh the harm or loss of a Green Infrastructure Asset and Local Wildlife Site
What decided it
The cumulative benefits of the proposal, including Japanese Knotweed removal, biodiversity net gain, and public access to a woodland community park, were not sufficient to outweigh the harm and loss to the Green Infrastructure Asset and Local Wildlife Site caused by the introduction of residential development and domestic use.
