Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the development accords with the development plan

What decided it
The public benefit of delivering three dwellings as a contribution to the housing stock, combined with the considerable weight attributable to the emerging Local Plan policies which support development within the extended settlement boundary, outweighs the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the conflict with the current development plan.

- National Planning Policy Framework
