Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be in an appropriate location, having specific regard to housing in the countryside
  • The effect of the development on the character of the area
  • The effect of the development on the integrity of the Breckland Special Protection Area

What decided it

The provision of custom and self-build housing to meet identified unmet demand, combined with economic benefits and effective mitigation of SPA impacts through the secured SAMM contribution, outweighed the limited conflict with Policy SP21 on countryside housing location.
