Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development with particular reference to the spatial strategy for the area and access to services and facilities
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the South Croxton Conservation Area
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the South Croxton Conservation Area, given great weight under the Framework, outweighs the public benefits of self-build housing supply and economic contributions.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area, given great weight, outweighed the social and economic benefits of self-build housing delivery and local economic contribution, which were moderated by the site's unsustainable location.
