Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would accord with the development strategy for the area with particular regard to achieving sustainable patterns of development

What decided it

The proposal's location in a rural area without good links to principal or secondary settlements and limited services and facilities means it would fail to promote sustainable patterns of development and conflicts with the development strategy for North Norfolk.

Framework references: 88, 89, 11

Plan policies cited: SS 1, SS 2, EC 7
