Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
whether the proposal would provide appropriate Green Infrastructure

What decided it

The layout, massing, footprint and height of the proposed dwellings would cumulatively result in overdevelopment that adversely affects the character and appearance of the area contrary to the development plan policies requiring high quality design responsive to local character and rural setting.

Plan policies cited: Policy SWDPR 05, Policy SWDPR 28, Policy SWDPR 34, Policy SWDPR 07, Policy SWDPR 48, South Worcestershire Supplementary Planning Document on Design 5A, South Worcestershire Supplementary Planning Document on Design 5D

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
