Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for a dwelling, having regard to the settlement policies of the development plan, the accessibility of services and facilities, and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding Area of Great Landscape Value

What decided it

The site lies in open countryside outside any settlement where residential development is not permitted under the development plan policies, and the proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Great Landscape Value.

The limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling and contributing to self-build demand does not outweigh the conflict with the settlement and landscape protection policies of the up-to-date development plan.

Framework references: 60, 62, 69, 12

Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 21, Policy 23, Policy 1, Policy 15, Saved Policy CL9

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.
