Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of non-designated heritage assets (NDHAs)
- Loss of green open space
What decided it
The single-storey design with low profile and existing vegetation screening would have negligible impact on the setting and significance of the non-designated heritage assets, and the loss of green open space would be minimal given the site's limited spatial contribution and the retention of substantial boundary vegetation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan – Part 1 (JLP1)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 209Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
