Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the development plan and national policy
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including but not limited to landscape character and the setting of the Thorpe-le-Soken Station and Maltings Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with an up-to-date development plan and paragraph 12 of the Framework provides that permission should not usually be granted where a proposal conflicts with an up-to-date development plan.

No balancing exercise was undertaken as the development plan was up-to-date and the proposal conflicted with it; the less than substantial heritage harm was not outweighed by any public benefits.
