Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- whether the proposed development would improve air quality
- whether the proposal would be required to deliver at least 10% biodiversity net gain (BNG)
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy regarding waste
What decided it
The proposal would result in severe impacts on highway safety and air quality, and the appeal site would not be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the Council's spatial strategy regarding waste, with the identified harms carrying substantial weight that outweighed the moderate benefits of the scheme.
