Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to national and local planning policies, which seek to restrict residential development in the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on heritage assets, including the Norton Conservation Area, nearby Grade II listed buildings and locally listed buildings, as derived from their settings
What decided it
The proposal would not be sustainably located and would conflict with development plan policies restricting countryside residential development, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of housing supply and support for the local economy were outweighed by the significant harm of unsustainable location and conflict with the development plan, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
