Communities Secretary Greg Clark has blocked a major residential scheme in Cheltenham, which was the subject of appeal, because of the loss of locally valued landscape.
Planning Portal writes:
The proposal involved a scheme earmarked for land at Leckhampton near Cheltenham where Clark acknowledged that without the housing contribution from this appeal the borough council would be two years’ short of an identified five-year housing land supply but like the inspector Clark concluded that the outline scheme would be contrary to the development plan overall due to severe cumulative transport impacts and because of the loss of locally valued landscape. He also concluded that the development would prejudice the possible designation of Local Green Space.
