Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would secure adequate infrastructure provision
- the effect of the proposed development on ecology with regard to protected species
- whether the proposed development would achieve Biodiversity Net Gain
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to access
- the effect of the proposed development on flood risk with regard to surface water flooding
- whether the proposed dwellings would be constructed sustainably
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with multiple policies of the development plan on infrastructure, ecology, biodiversity net gain, highway safety, flood risk, sustainable construction and character and appearance, and the material considerations do not indicate that the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan.
