Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposal
  • the landscape effects of the scheme
  • the heritage effects of the scheme

What decided it

Under the NPPF paragraph 11.d)ii tilted balance, the limited or negligible harms identified from location, landscape and heritage effects did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the substantial benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery.

The negligible-to-limited harms arising from location, landscape and heritage effects were outweighed by the substantial public benefits, principally the delivery of 50 dwellings including 20 affordable homes, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal.
