Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for housing with particular regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposed development on heritage assets

What decided it

The site's proximity to village services and facilities, combined with the availability of sustainable transport options (walking, cycling and bus), made it a suitable location for housing in accordance with development plan policy, and the heritage assets would be preserved.
