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
