Inspector: Wyborn D
Postcode: TR4 9HL

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the development plan would support the proposed housing in this location
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
whether or not the development would make efficient and effective use of the land
the effect of the development on biodiversity with particular reference to any impact on slow worms and/or common lizards
whether or not the scheme would make adequate provision to address any impact on education infrastructure

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole, failing to meet the rounding off requirements of Policy 3, harming character and appearance, failing to make efficient use of land, inadequately addressing biodiversity impacts, and not securing required education contributions, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these findings.
