Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would accord with the requirements of the Development Plan in respect of the efficient use of land for housing
- whether the proposal should make provision for affordable housing
- whether the proposal would have a suitable mix of housing sizes
- whether adequate details in respect of flooding and drainage have been provided
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising substantial conflict with efficient use of land and affordable housing policies and significant conflict with housing mix and drainage policies, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply, self-build provision, and heritage improvements when assessed against the Framework read as a whole.
The substantial and significant harms from conflicts with policies on efficient use of land, affordable housing, housing mix and drainage, together with limited positive weight for housing supply and self-build benefits and moderate positive weight for heritage benefits, resulted in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
