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 prominent and incongruous flat-roofed tower element and cramped site layout would harm the character and appearance of the area, outweighing the limited benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of economic contribution, housing supply, and sustainable heating and energy generation would not be sufficient to outweigh the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN4 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy (2008)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 134
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.
