Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed developments would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development
  • The effect of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposals upon the setting of nearby listed buildings, namely Papplewicke Cottage and Berry Cottage
  • With regard to Appeal A, whether the affordable housing contribution is required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance through the urbanisation of an open countryside site that positively contributes to the village character outweighed the economic and social benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.

The economic and social benefits of housing supply, self-build delivery, and affordable housing contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant environmental harm to character and appearance; the tilted balance did not favour the development.
