Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwellings would be in a suitable location with regard to designated development boundaries, including the effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Coggeshall Conservation Area
What decided it
The material harm to the setting of the Coggeshall Conservation Area, characterised as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the moderate weight afforded to the contribution of four dwellings to housing supply.
