Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for housing, having regard to the requirements of local and national policy; particularly accessibility in terms of public transport, pedestrian and cycling opportunities
  • the effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets including the Upper Inglesham Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The substantial weight attached to boosting housing supply in the context of a housing land supply shortfall outweighed the moderate development plan conflict and the less-than-substantial heritage harm.

the moderate harm from conflict with the spatial strategy and transport policies, together with less than substantial (lower end) heritage harm, were outweighed by the substantial benefit of boosting housing supply and other identified benefits, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
