Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed dwellings would be in a suitable location having regard to relevant development plan and emerging policies, including those relating to the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community
The effect of the proposed dwellings on the setting of the listed buildings adjoining Hill Farm House and on a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan as a suitable location for housing adjacent to a Strategic Urban Settlement, and there are no material considerations to outweigh that finding.

The modest conflict with emerging Neighbourhood Plan policies was outweighed by the overall acceptability of the site for new housing in accordance with the development plan strategy for growth adjacent to Colchester as a Strategic Urban Settlement.
