Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposed development would conserve and enhance landscape and scenic beauty in the Suffolk and Essex Coast and Heaths National Landscape

What decided it

The inclusion of The Warren within the appeal site and the ability to secure its demolition by condition prior to development of the replacement dwelling provided the necessary mechanism to ensure the development would be solely for replacement dwellings lost to coastal erosion, thereby conserving the natural beauty of the National Landscape.

the limited adverse landscape effects of the replacement dwellings were outweighed by the policy support for replacement of dwellings lost to coastal erosion and the comprehensive mitigation measures including landscaping and the secured demolition of The Warren, resulting in conservation of the natural beauty of the National Landscape

Framework references: 189

Plan policies cited: Policy WLP8.26, Policy WLP8.29, Policy WLP8.35, Policy RNP 5

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
