Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comprise an acceptable form of development having regard to the settlement pattern, the character and appearance of the area and the policies of the development plan
What decided it
The proposal would lead to the coalescence of Carlton and Kelsale villages and cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, including damage to the historic parkland setting and the avenue of Lime trees, which outweighed the benefits of additional housing delivery.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm to settlement pattern, character and appearance, and conflict with development plan policies protecting settlement separation and heritage assets.
Plan policies cited: Policy 3.3, Policy 5.3, Policy 5.3(g), Policy 5.4, Policy 10.4, Policy 10.5, Policy 11.8
