The development proposed of 300 dwellings, GP practice & pharmacy, A1 convenience store, public greenspaces and associated infrastructure has been dismissed.
In Light of the above, the main issues are:
- (a) The extent to which the proposal would accord with the development plan and other planning policies;
- (b) Whether the development would be premature and prejudicial to plan-making;
- (c) Whether the highway junction between Rakehill Road and Station Road would operate safely following the development;
- (d) Whether the development would be suitably located in terms of accessibility to services and facilities.
