The proposed development of residential development to provide 120 new homes,including 36 affordable homes, together with new vehicular and pedestrian access, internal access roads, car parking, landscaping, provision of 0.84 hectares of open space and a locally equipped area for children’s’ play (LEAP) and the removal of vehicular rights over most of by-way ES10 Black Lane has been dismissed. The main issues being the effect of the development on reptiles as protected species, the effect of the development on the operation of the local highway network and whether the development alone or in combination with other development in the area would be likely to have a significant effect for the designated habitats; and if so whether the effects would be capable of being acceptably mitigated.
