Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposed development would incorporate required measures to mitigate its climate change impact
whether or not it would be appropriate to protect the appeal site as existing open space from the proposed development

What decided it

The appeal site does not possess demonstrable function or value as existing open space in spatial or visual terms, and therefore is not appropriately protected under Policy IF4 of the Borough Local Plan or paragraph 103 of the Framework.

Framework references: 57, 103

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy IF4

- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
