Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area including the effect of the proposal upon the setting and significance of the Chedgrave Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade I Listed Church of All Saints
  • The acceptability of development and whether it is in a sustainable location outside of the defined settlement limits of Chedgrave

What decided it

The material change in the character of the site through adjacent development has so diminished its rural character that Policy DM1.3 has been superseded by events on the ground, and the absence of harm to heritage assets and character justifies allowing the appeal despite the policy conflict.

The benefits of the proposal including economic benefits of construction, housing delivery within a designated key service centre, and reduced pressure on countryside housing allocations outweigh the conflict with Policy DM1.3, given the absence of harm to character, appearance and heritage assets
