Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposals would be acceptable having regard to effects on the Orchard Site including in respect of its designation as green space
- the effect of the proposals on biodiversity and habitat
What decided it
Appeal B, taken in isolation, would comply with the development plan when read as a whole and would not cause unacceptable harm to the Orchard Site designation, biodiversity, habitat, character and appearance, or heritage assets.
Not applicable; the proposal accords with the development plan and no balancing exercise against Framework policies protecting designated heritage assets or local green spaces was required.
