Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) would be achieved

What decided it

The proposed dwellings, through their smaller size, varied building lines and generous gaps between properties, would result in a spacious character and appearance more in keeping with the varied and sporadic design of dwellings in the wider area, and BNG would be secured through the statutory framework.
