Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character, appearance and significance of the Laughton-en-le-Morthen Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether sufficient information has been provided to assess the effect of the proposal on archaeology, biodiversity, and a scheme of comprehensive development for the wider area
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on highway safety arising from the substandard access combined with insufficient archaeological information to determine potential harm to heritage assets.
Even if the Council could not demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, the adverse impacts on highway safety and insufficient archaeology information would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of one additional dwelling and limited short-term employment and support for settlement services.
