Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal would be at risk of flooding or increase the risk of flooding elsewhere
- whether the proposal appropriately secures Biodiversity Net Gain
What decided it
The absence of a legal agreement to secure the self-build status of the proposal and exemption from Biodiversity Net Gain requirements, contrary to the Framework.
Although the proposal accords with the development plan and provides limited benefits including a new dwelling and local economic benefits, the adverse impacts of failing to secure Biodiversity Net Gain compliance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
