Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thorpeness Conservation Area and the setting of surrounding listed buildings

What decided it
The development would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Thorpeness Conservation Area by removing an open space that provides essential relief within the core of the village, and the moderate weight attached to housing and economic benefits was insufficient to outweigh the great weight given to harm to a designated heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SCLP11.4Policy SCLP11.5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
