Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the site would be a suitable location for residential development having regard to the settlement strategy of the development plan
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees
  • whether or not there is a need for a planning obligation to secure payment of a tariff under the Norfolk Green Infrastructure and Recreational Impact Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy 2021 (GIRAMS)

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the settlement strategy in BLP Policy HOU04 due to growth in Griston significantly exceeding the permitted 5% threshold.

Limited weight benefits from housing supply and economic activity were outweighed by the significant adverse weight given to conflict with the spatial strategy for the area.
