Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide a balanced housing stock
  • whether the development would result in undue risk to human health or to other relevant receptors, arising from contamination of the land
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance of the area, combined with failure to provide a balanced housing stock and unresolved contamination risks, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole and other considerations did not indicate permission should be granted.
