Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal accords with the development strategy set out in the development plan
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would involve development on designated public open space
  • Whether the development would be at risk from flooding or increase flood risk elsewhere
  • The effect on ecology and biodiversity
  • The provision of a mix of housing and effect on infrastructure

What decided it

The removal of the residential allocation from the newly made Odiham and North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan Review 2025, combined with the substantial landscape harm and coalescence impact, means the proposal conflicts with the up-to-date development plan and the Framework's plan-led approach requires dismissal.

The benefits of providing 30 dwellings and affordable housing do not outweigh the conflict with the up-to-date neighbourhood plan and development plan when read as a whole, and the substantial landscape harm and coalescence of settlements.
