Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to external space and existing occupiers with particular regard to privacy and the availability of natural light
  • highway safety with particular regard to access and parking
  • biodiversity net gain and protected species
  • the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The combined harm to living conditions, highway safety, and failure to satisfy statutory biodiversity net gain and protected species requirements significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.

The benefits of housing supply and modest economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on living conditions, highway safety, and breach of statutory biodiversity and protected species requirements.
