Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Its effects on the supply of employment land
Whether or not the location of the site is accessible by a range of transport modes
Its effect on the living conditions of future occupants

What decided it

The site's distance from services and facilities combined with limited public transport and absence of cycle lanes means it does not provide adequate accessibility by a range of transport modes, conflicting with Policies PL1 and IN2 of the HLDP 2020.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy ED2, Policy PR1, Policy PL1, Policy IN2, Policy PL2

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.
