Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the wider area, with particular regard to the effect on the setting of a designated heritage asset
- nutrient neutrality with particular regard to the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Ramsar site
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the Blean Conservation Area, characterised as less-than-substantial but nonetheless requiring great weight in the planning balance, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of three additional dwellings.
the limited public benefits of housing delivery and windfall site provision did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the designated heritage asset, which the Framework identifies as an irreplaceable resource deserving great weight in its conservation
