Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of Deerbolt Cottage, a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The harm to the setting of Deerbolt Cottage from eroding its open and spacious character, which attracts considerable weight and outweighs the modest benefits of a single dwelling, even though the development plan policies are out of date.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and economic support were outweighed by the considerable harm to the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS5 of the Mid Suffolk Core Strategy 2008Policy HB1 of the Mid Suffolk Local Plan 1998
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
