Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would secure Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
- whether the proposed development would comply with development plan policies in respect of climate change
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance, combined with failures to secure Biodiversity Net Gain and demonstrate climate change mitigation, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery in an accessible location.
The adverse impacts arising from harm to character and appearance, failure to provide Biodiversity Net Gain, and failure to maximise contribution to climate change adaptation and mitigation significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited weight attributed to the benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of a brownfield site when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
