Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant and unacceptable adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery despite the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.

The modest contribution to housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal does not constitute sustainable development.

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.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
