Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Dersingham Conservation Area

- the effects of the proposal on the integrity of habitat sites
What decided it
The proposal's visual detachment from main conservation area views, similarity to neighbouring modern dwellings, and secured habitat mitigation through the GIRAMS contribution meant it would not cause unacceptable harm to character, living conditions, or protected sites.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP18LP21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
