Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposed development makes an appropriate contribution towards highway improvements, car-free housing, public realm measures, carbon off-setting, air quality, tree planting, employment, training and local supply chain, and monitoring
What decided it
The absence of an executed legal agreement to secure appropriate planning obligations and contributions to mitigate the effects of the proposed development, which led to conflict with the development plan and could not be overcome by the housing and commercial benefits.
The benefits of housing delivery and commercial floorspace (moderate weight) were outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the conflict with the development plan arising from the absence of a legal agreement to secure necessary mitigation contributions, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under NPPF paragraph 11d.
