Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the supply of land available for employment generating use
  • Whether the proposed development makes suitable provision for the parking of vehicles including its effect on the local highway network, with particular reference to the quality of the layout of the development

What decided it

The substantial harm arising from inadequate parking provision, combined with moderate harm from loss of employment land, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and redevelopment of previously developed land.

The moderate harm caused by loss of land available for employment and the substantial harm from inadequate parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply, economic benefits, and redevelopment of previously developed land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
