Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue in both appeals is their effect on the setting of the Kingston Buci lighthouse, a Grade II listed building, and whether any harm identified would be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
What decided it
Whether the public benefits of each scheme, particularly the certainty and scale of on-site affordable housing provision, outweighed the less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the Kingston Buci lighthouse.
In Appeal A the totality of public benefits did not outweigh the permanent less-than-substantial harm to the lighthouse's setting, whereas in Appeal B the same category of harm, reduced in degree by design changes, was outweighed by the public benefits including on-site affordable housing.
