Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for housing development, with particular reference to the policies contained within the Scalford Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2036
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including Scalford Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- The effect of the proposed development on the housing mix of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by locating housing outside the defined limits to development in the Neighbourhood Plan, and the identified harms to the Conservation Area setting, highway safety, and neighbouring amenity are not outweighed by the modest public benefits.
