Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the settlement strategy of the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the introduction of a solid ribbon of built form that would erode the rural character and local distinctiveness of the historic part of Grimston outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in the context of an adequate five-year housing land supply.
the moderate benefits of housing delivery (26 dwellings including 5 affordable units) and support to local services were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the settlement strategy
