Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity with particular regard to biodiversity net gain (BNG)
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to overlooking to Treelands

What decided it

The failure to submit the minimum information required to demonstrate that biodiversity net gain could be secured, combined with the inability to enforce self-build status through a planning obligation or condition, meant the development would have an unacceptable effect on biodiversity that outweighed the modest housing benefits.

The modest benefits of providing one dwelling in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the important adverse effects of failing to meet mandatory biodiversity net gain requirements and not securing a well-designed place.
