Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site provides a suitable location for the development proposed, including having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Scole Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by locating market housing outside a settlement boundary where it is not an exception use, and would cause less than substantial harm to the Scole Conservation Area that is not justified by the modest public benefits offered.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and conflict with the spatial strategy outweighed the modest public benefits of limited housing supply contribution and economic benefits
