Inspector: Edwards J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Marshfield Conservation Area
its effect on the setting and significance of nearby listed buildings
whether it conserves the natural beauty of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

What decided it

The identified harm to the character and appearance of the Marshfield Conservation Area, which conflicts with development plan policies and outweighs the limited public benefits of the development.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Marshfield Conservation Area outweighed the limited public benefits of health and safety and prevention of unauthorised access.

Plan policies cited: CS1, CS9, PSP1, PSP5, PSP17, PSP2

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
