Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to increased traffic movements along the access route to the site
  • the effect of the proposal on trees within and adjoining the site
  • the effect of the proposal on nationally and internationally protected sites

What decided it

The proposal would have an adverse effect on nationally and internationally protected SPA and SAC sites without appropriate mitigation measures secured, providing a clear reason for refusal under NPPF paragraph 11 d) i.

The limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling on a brownfield site were outweighed by the significant harm to highway safety, trees, and protected ecological sites, with the latter providing a clear reason for refusal under the Framework.

Framework references: 11
