Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, and its effect upon a Public Right of Way
What decided it
The site's allocation for residential development within the settlement limits of Long Sutton, combined with the absence of substantive evidence that the proposed densities would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, was decisive to allowing both appeals.
The benefits of delivering housing in accordance with the development plan allocation outweighed the concerns about density and settlement edge treatment, as the proposals would not result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance or the Public Right of Way.
