Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular reference to the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II* listed building or its setting, known as the Church of St. Andrew and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Flooding with particular reference to groundwater conditions and surface water management
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, arising from the loss of open rural land that makes an important contribution to the village's rural qualities, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the context of the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of residential development in this location, resulting in significant harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and economic stimulus when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole, such that the proposal would not represent sustainable development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP25Policy SP11Policy SP16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 135Paragraph 180
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
