Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the existing trees and woodland
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the recreational function of the site as open space
What decided it
The cumulative harm to trees and woodland, character and appearance, and the site's recreational function as open space outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in a context where the Council already has a 5.6 year housing land supply.
The significant benefits of 51 dwellings contributing to housing need and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm to trees and woodland, character and appearance, and loss of recreational open space, particularly given the Council's adequate housing land supply.
