Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location for new housing given the effect on open space in consideration of national and local policies
- Whether the proposed development would secure the provision of any required alternative community sports and recreation facilities, and provide the infrastructure requirements for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of playing field land without demonstrating it was surplus to requirements and would fail to secure necessary infrastructure contributions, causing conflict with the development plan when taken as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery and infill development were outweighed by the loss of playing field land and failure to secure necessary infrastructure contributions, resulting in conflict with the development plan taken as a whole.
