Land West of Rose Farm, The Street, Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, NR16 1AA
Planning appeal 3301049 at Land West of Rose Farm, The Street, Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, NR16 1AA (South Norfolk District Council) was allowed on 24 May 2023 by Inspector Boughton A, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the development would be in a suitable location for housing, taking into consideration local policies and if there is conflict, and if so, whether there are other material considerations which would justify a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be in a suitable location for housing, taking into consideration local policies and if there is conflict, and if so, whether there are other material considerations which would justify a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would constitute practical infill development consistent with the existing settlement pattern and would provide modest but tangible benefits in a suitable location, which outweighed the limited technical conflict with the settlement boundary policy.
The limited technical conflict with the settlement boundary policy, weighed against the modest benefits of providing a dwelling in a service village with good access to services and facilities and the absence of any other planning harm, justified a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
