Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing in principle, based on the spatial strategy in the Tendring District Local Plan
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the integrity of Essex Coastal Habitats Sites
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional need for recreational public open space arising from the development

What decided it

The provision of a Unilateral Undertaking securing RAMS contributions and public open space contributions, combined with the site's suitable location adjacent to the settlement boundary with access to services, resolved all main issues and allowed the appeal.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP3, Policy SPL1, Policy SPL2, Policy LP7, Policy SP7, Policy PPL3, Policy DI1, Policy HP5, Policy SP2
