- Inspector
- Wraight G
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupants of the proposed development would have reasonable access to shops and services
- The effect of the proposed development on designated habitat sites and whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional need for open space arising from the development
What decided it
The failure to secure a binding planning obligation guaranteeing delivery as a self-build dwelling under the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015, combined with unresolved habitat mitigation and open space contributions, meant the moderate weight of other considerations could not outweigh the conflict with strategic development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS2, Policy GSP1, Policy CS11, Policy GSP5, Policy GSP8, Policy CS14, Policy CS15, Policy H4
