Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policy for the delivery of housing
- whether the proposal would provide a suitable housing mix having regard to the development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether the character or appearance of the Twywell Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced, in particular regard to views across the CA
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, in regard to the provision of adequate visibility splays and intensification of the use of the existing access
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the development plan as it constitutes inappropriate backland development that does not meet infill policy criteria, fails to provide suitable housing mix, and causes less than substantial harm to the conservation area that is not outweighed by public benefits.
