Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for housing, with respect to the Council's planned pattern of growth and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, East Keal Manor, and the significance of potential archaeological remains
- the effect on protected trees
What decided it
The site falls outside the developed footprint of the settlement and would not constitute infill development as required by Policy SP4, and the resulting harm to the listed building's setting and character of the area is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP1Policy SP4Policy SP25Policy SP11Policy SP10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 194Paragraph 202Paragraph 131
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
