Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Orton-on-the-Hill Conservation Area
- Whether future occupiers would have satisfactory living standards by reason of outlook
What decided it
The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers by reason of outlook, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefit of housing delivery in the absence of a five-year supply.
The preservation of the Conservation Area's character and appearance was demonstrably and significantly outweighed by the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers.
