Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of a Grade II listed building and scheduled monument
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of European sites, with particular regard to nutrient pollution and recreational pressure

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate it would not harm the integrity of The Broads SAC through nutrient pollution, providing a strong reason for refusal under the Habitats Regulations and Framework paragraph 11(d)(i).

The adverse impacts of poor accessibility, harm to character and appearance, and highway safety concerns significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply and self-build provision when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
