Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Highway safety
- Sustainable drainage and water efficiency
What decided it
The proposal's failure to demonstrate that highway safety would not be harmed and that sustainable drainage requirements would be met, notwithstanding that it would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
The benefits of housing supply and efficient use of a small site were outweighed by the unresolved concerns regarding highway safety and sustainable drainage, with the housing benefits carrying very limited weight given the Council's adequate housing land supply.
