Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the scheme upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect upon the living conditions of future occupiers, having particular regard to outdoor space
- the effect upon protected habitat sites
- whether the scheme would make appropriate provision for biodiversity
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions, protected habitat sites, and biodiversity, combined with the absence of secured mitigation measures, outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
The small but important contribution to housing supply was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, protected habitat sites, and failure to secure biodiversity net gain, as the Framework makes clear that harm to protected areas and assets provides a strong reason for refusing development.
