Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal demonstrates compliance with the statutory framework for biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The proposal's failure to demonstrate compliance with the statutory framework for biodiversity net gain, which attracted substantial weight against the scheme and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
The adverse impacts of approval, principally the failure to achieve the mandatory 10% biodiversity net gain, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply, economic benefits and energy efficiency, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
