Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, and linked to that, the effect of the proposal on the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed building, 'Fitz Turgis', by diminishing the agricultural character of that property.

What decided it

The modest nature and scope of the proposals, combined with the use of matching materials, would not cause undue harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling or the setting and significance of the adjacent listed building.

Framework references: 199

Plan policies cited: Policy CS23, Policy SP40, Policy SP43

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
