Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the surrounding area and future users with particular regard to layout design, density and public open space
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to noise, disturbance and pollutants
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety in relation to access and vehicular traffic
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
  • whether the proposal provides suitable affordable housing provision
  • the requirement for planning obligations

What decided it

The absence of a completed section 106 agreement to secure the proposed affordable housing provision meant the proposal could not accord with Policy 18 of the development plan despite the housing being proposed.
