Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location for new housing with particular regard to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of Orford Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, through development within its setting
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the spatial strategy for managing housing growth outside settlement boundaries and causes less than substantial harm to the Orford Conservation Area's significance through its setting, which is not justified by the limited public benefits.
