Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that varying the disputed condition would have on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and the setting of the Stiffkey Conservation Area
The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to privacy and overlooking

What decided it

The proposed roof terrace and enlarged windows would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the special qualities of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, and would harm neighbouring living conditions through overlooking, which together outweigh the moderate benefits of the renewable energy measures.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy EN1, Policy EN2, Policy EN4, Policy EN8

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
