Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be an overdevelopment of the 'Wynyard Village Extension' masterplan, having particular regard to housing density, scale of development and supporting infrastructure
  • The effect of the proposal on the setting of Wynyard Park Grade II* listed park and garden

What decided it

The limited and temporary nature of the heritage harm, which would diminish as the woodland buffer matured, was outweighed by the significant public benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contribution in the context of the Council's housing land supply shortfall.

The limited and temporary harm to the setting of Wynyard Park Grade II* listed park and garden was outweighed by the significant public benefits of housing supply contribution, affordable housing provision, education contributions and local employment support, particularly given the Council's shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
