Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is the acceptability of the proposed affordable housing cascade mechanism having regard to Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 compliance.

What decided it

The Inspector's planning balance concluded that the substantial social and economic benefits of the housing-led scheme, addressing an evidenced housing land supply shortfall, were not substantially outweighed by the landscape, visual and non-designated heritage harms identified.

the compelling high order social and economic benefits offered through strategic scale housing delivery coupled with BNG improvements outweigh the resultant landscape and visual harms (including the setting of the Cotswolds National Landscape) and harms to a nearby NDHA
