Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to accessibility to local facilities and sustainable modes of transport
  • whether a suitable mechanism has been provided to secure affordable housing, education, healthcare and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) monitoring contributions

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the identified harms, principally the accessibility conflict with Policies SD1 and ID2, were broadly equal to and did not substantially outweigh the benefits, particularly the significant contribution to the housing land supply shortfall, so the proposal satisfied Criterion (j) of Policy S5 of the Framework.

the harms (significant weight to the conflict with Policies SD1 and ID2, limited weight to agricultural land loss and the SP4 conflict) were broadly equal to the benefits (significant weight to the housing supply contribution, moderate weight to economic benefits, limited weight to the BNG enhancement) and the harm did not substantially outweigh the benefits, so permission was granted
