Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the appeal site can be developed independently of the wider allocated housing site HC2(i) having regard to development plan policies and the proposed development's use of land and design details
  • whether a financial contribution should be provided for education facilities
  • whether the proposal provides for surface water storage in accordance with the sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDs) hierarchy

What decided it

The proposal accorded with the development plan taken as a whole, including on character/appearance, independent developability of the housing allocation, and drainage, rendering the disputed housing land supply position non-determinative.
