Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the Council's strategy for the location of new residential development
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the integrity of Essex Coastal Habitats Sites

What decided it

The proposed development would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area through suburbanisation and encroachment into the countryside, contrary to the development plan, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.

The limited weight given to housing supply benefits and self-build provision could not outweigh the significant harm identified to the character and appearance of the area and the rural landscape.
