Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the development plan
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on the mineral safeguarding area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the spatial strategy and settlement hierarchy set out in Policy LP2 of the adopted Local Plan, and there are no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict.

The conflicts with the development plan in relation to spatial strategy, settlement hierarchy and minerals safeguarding requirements were significant and outweighed the absence of harm to character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2, Policy LP17, Policy LP26, Policy M11

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
