Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposals would be acceptable having regard to the locational strategy for development within the area
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area including their effect on the Howardian Hills National Landscape
- the effect of the proposals on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to noise
- whether the proposals would prejudice the continued operation of adjacent businesses
What decided it
the substantial weight given to the extant fallback prior approval scheme for 10 residential units, which would provide more housing with less scope to control noise impacts than the appeal schemes, tipped the balance in favour of allowing both appeals despite development plan conflict
conflict with the development plan's locational strategy and noise policy was outweighed by the substantial weight attributed to the fallback scheme, such that both appeals were allowed
