Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the mix of housing in the Borough, including whether the property would be suitable for conversion
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
- whether the proposal promotes sustainable modes of travel
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable waste storage
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity and whether it would achieve a biodiversity net gain
- whether the proposal would meet carbon reduction standards
- the effect of the development on surface water run-off
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, housing mix, living conditions, and failure to comply with multiple development plan policies on sustainable travel, surface water, carbon emissions, biodiversity and waste management collectively outweighed the positive contribution to housing supply and local economy.
