Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would represent a sustainable location for the type of housing proposed
The effect of the proposed access on highway safety and local character, with particular reference to the junction of Hillside with Felbrigg Road

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on both sustainability and highway safety grounds, the development plan is up-to-date and consistent with the NPPF, the five-year housing supply is adequate so the tilted balance is not engaged, and the modest housing and economic benefits do not outweigh the conflict with the spatial strategy for sustainable development.

The modest contribution to housing delivery and economic benefits from construction do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy for securing a sustainable pattern of housing development

Framework references: 11, 79, 105, 110, 111, 219, 61

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
