Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Little Paston, with particular regard as to whether it would be overbearing, overshadow, or overlook
  • the effect of the proposal on the SAC

What decided it

The proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing effects, overshadowing or overlooking, and the adverse effects on the SAC would be avoided through the secured mitigation contribution.
