Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on flooding

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate appropriate affordable housing provision and adequate biodiversity mitigation, combined with the conflict with development plan policies on these matters, resulted in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.

The adverse impacts of the development, particularly the failure to provide affordable housing and inadequate biodiversity mitigation, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and small economic and social benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
