Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect on biodiversity in the area
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on flood risk in the locality

What decided it

The failure to provide evidence demonstrating that the development would achieve net gain for biodiversity as required by Policies LP3, LP28 and LP53 of the Bracknell Forest Local Plan, which carries significant weight against the proposal and outweighs the benefits of housing delivery.
