Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to access and parking provision
  • Whether adequate provision can be made for biodiversity net gain
  • Whether the proposal makes adequate mitigation measures for the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation

What decided it

The conflict with development plan policies protecting character and open space, combined with inadequate parking provision and failure to secure mandatory biodiversity net gain and SAC mitigation, outweighed the modest housing benefit, particularly given the strong protection afforded to the designated SAC habitat.
