Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would satisfy the requirements of the statutory framework for BNG
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including in respect of open space
What decided it
The failure to provide an effective mechanism to secure the development as a self-build dwelling and the absence of the minimum information required for biodiversity net gain under the statutory framework rendered the proposal non-compliant with the Framework, which was not outweighed by the proposal's benefits.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use, together with limited benefits from self-build value and economic activity, were outweighed by the significant material consideration that the development would not accord with the statutory BNG regime and the Framework's BNG objective.
