Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would harm local green space
What decided it
The comprehensive mitigation and enhancement measures, supported by ecological surveys and a Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment, would more than compensate for the loss of green space, and the area was not deficient in open space provision.
The benefits of the development and the comprehensive ecological mitigation and enhancement measures, combined with the provision of on-site open space and the area's adequate existing open space provision, outweighed the initial loss of green space and ecological features
