Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal represents a suitable location for housing, having regard to the relevant local and national policy context and other material considerations
What decided it
The proposal's location within the settlement boundary, combined with the modest scale of development and its proximity to the primary school which would mitigate reliance on the private car, rendered it a suitable location for housing that accords with the development plan and outweighs the minimal heritage harm.
the very limited less-than-substantial harm to the setting of Paxes House was outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision, and support for the viability of the local primary school
