Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location with respect to existing settlements, services and facilities
What decided it
The proposed development would not be in a suitable location with respect to existing settlements, services and facilities, conflicting with the development plan and the Framework's sustainability principles, and the limited housing benefit does not outweigh this conflict given the up-to-date neighbourhood plan policies.
The limited benefits of the proposal (small contribution to housing supply and modest local economic benefit) were substantially outweighed by the adverse impact of allowing development that conflicts with the up-to-date Felsted Neighbourhood Plan policies, to which substantial weight was attributed under paragraph 14 of the Framework.
Framework references: 48, 84, 11, 68, 14
