Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

  • whether the proposal would be provided with suitable means of drainage
  • whether the layout of the proposed development would result in a safe and secure environment
  • whether the proposal would provide Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

What decided it

the substantial weight given to housing delivery, effective use of previously developed land and economic benefits was substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance, future occupiers' living conditions and drainage, and moderate harm to neighbouring living conditions
