Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for residential development
- the effect of the development on highway safety with particular regard to its means of access
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
What decided it
The absence of a reliable mechanism to secure off-site biodiversity net gain enhancements and failure to demonstrate retention and protection of high-quality trees meant the proposal would result in unacceptable harm to biodiversity and trees that could not be adequately mitigated or compensated.
