Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in accordance with the policies of the Net Zero Carbon Development Plan Document
- whether the proposed development would provide a safe and suitable access and have an acceptable effect on the operation of the highway network
- whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers with respect to noise and disturbance
- whether the contributions sought with respect to affordable housing, first homes, open space, drainage, employment, healthcare, outdoor sports, indoor sports, grass pitches, air quality, education, highways, libraries, public rights of way, and bus stops, are reasonable and necessary to make the development acceptable
What decided it
The proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise.
