Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the Gorleston Conservation Area
- Whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to open space
- The effect of the development on the protected trees
What decided it
The proposal's accordance with the development plan policies on design, heritage, and residential quality, combined with the mitigation of tree loss through replacement planting, meant the appeal should be allowed despite the limited open space provision and the Council's shortfall in housing land supply.
The benefits of residential development and housing delivery, combined with the proposal's compliance with development plan policies on design and heritage, outweighed the limited open space provision for flat occupiers and the loss of protected trees, which were adequately mitigated.
