Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Shotesham Conservation Area
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the Council's strategic approach to the location of new residential development
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Shotesham Conservation Area, to which great weight must be afforded, is not outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision (afforded moderate weight) do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area (to which great weight must be given under Framework Paragraph 199), and the presumption in favour of sustainable development is disapplied by Framework Paragraph 11di
