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.
Framework references: 12
