Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on heritage assets, with particular regard to archaeology
- Whether the proposal would provide an appropriate housing mix
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the local development plan strategy for RAF Scampton and the wider spatial strategy, including the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on minerals, with particular regard to the local safeguarding strategy
- Whether the proposal would be energy efficient
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan when taken as a whole, particularly through piecemeal development without a masterplan for RAF Scampton, inadequate archaeological evaluation, and failure to demonstrate appropriate housing mix, and the material considerations do not outweigh these harms.
