Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is consistent with the objectives of local and national planning policies relating to the location and type of housing, including provision of or contributions towards affordable housing, having regard to financial viability
- The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety, with particular regard to the means of access from Dinting Vale (A57) and the relationship with Adderley Place (a public right of way also known as FP50) and Simmondley Lane
- The effect of the proposed development on trees, including those protected by a temporary Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
- The effect of the proposed development on air quality, with particular regard to the Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) designated on the A57
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that, when the development plan was read as a whole and viability evidence demonstrated affordable housing could not be delivered, the proposal accorded with the development plan and no unacceptable harms arose (subject to conditions and the S106 agreement) was decisive in allowing the appeal.
The identified benefits of housing delivery, biodiversity net gain, tree management, energy/water efficiency, economic/social benefits and public open space were weighed as significant to moderate benefits, and as no unacceptable harm was found (subject to conditions and planning obligations), the balance favoured allowing the appeal in accordance with the development plan as a whole.
