Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed development is not well designed and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, which is determinative in this appeal.

The adverse impacts of the development, specifically the significant harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 73, 131, 135, 139

Plan policies cited: Policy SP7 of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond, Section 1, Adopted January 2021, Policies SPL3, LP3 and LP4 of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond, Section 2, Adopted January 2022
