Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the proposed development would impact highway safety
- Whether the development would impact upon protected species
- Whether the development would be resistant to the risk of flooding
- Whether the proposal would meet the energy standards required for development
What decided it
The clear and unresolved conflicts with highway safety requirements, the absence of evidence to demonstrate that protected species would not be harmed, unresolved flood risk and drainage matters, and failure to meet energy performance standards, which together significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of delivering two additional dwellings and making productive use of previously developed land to help meet identified housing needs attracted limited weight, but were substantially outweighed by significant concerns regarding protected species, flood risk and drainage, and clear highway safety implications, which attracted substantial weight against the proposal.
