- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial weight given to the conflict with policies protecting open space and biodiversity demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of self-build provision and housing delivery in the context of the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of self-build dwelling provision and housing delivery were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm from loss of open space and unresolved impact on protected species when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole.
