Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Old Buckenham Conservation Area
  • Whether the proposal would adhere to policies aimed at addressing development in sites at risk of flooding

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating five residential units outside the settlement boundary where the housing target has been met, and this conflict is not outweighed by the modest public benefits.

The modest public benefits of five homes and limited economic and community support, weighed against less than substantial harm to the conservation area setting (requiring great weight) and conflict with the spatial strategy, do not justify the proposal; the benefits do not outweigh the harm.
