Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the development proposed, having regard to the requirements of local policy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with Policy HOU05 of the Breckland Local Plan because it does not constitute sensitive infilling or rounding off as defined in that policy, and therefore conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole.
