Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on an asset of community value (ACV)
  • whether the scale of development proposed is appropriate, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy and the Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan

What decided it

The scale of development proposed (49 dwellings) substantially exceeds the 30-dwelling limit established by the Neighbourhood Plan policies FRAM1 and FRAM25, which reflect the town's spatial strategy and would undermine the plan-led system.

The conflict with the development plan spatial strategy, afforded significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of self-build housing delivery, affordable housing provision, open space, economic benefits and highway adequacy, which would largely be realised by the already-approved 35-dwelling scheme.
