Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, proposed land use and scale, and the effect on the setting of nearby heritage assets
What decided it
The district's acknowledged shortfall in five-year housing land supply, combined with the site's suitable location and relationship to the settlement, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's setting.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Ellington Conservation Area was outweighed by the significant benefits of providing up to nine dwellings in a district with a recognised housing shortfall and supporting the vitality of the rural community.
