Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area despite the tandem backland arrangement, and the limited benefits of housing delivery were sufficient to outweigh the limited conflict with the development plan.

The limited benefits of the proposal, including support for housing supply and choice and modest support to the construction industry and rural community vitality, outweighed the limited conflict with the development plan policies HG13 and emerging LP8

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy HG13 of the Tendring Local Plan 2007Policy LP8 of the emerging Tendring District Local Plan 2013 – 2033 and Beyond

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
