Inspector: Aqbal M

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the location of the appeal site is suitable for housing with regard to local and national planning policies
whether or not the proposal delivers an appropriate density / mix of housing, makes appropriate provision for Green Infrastructure and provides an acceptable access point
whether the proposal would affect the setting and significance of the Honeybourne Conservation Area
whether or not the proposal makes appropriate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The redevelopment of brownfield land in an accessible location with reasonable services, combined with the modest scale of the proposal and material considerations including housing supply and affordable housing contributions, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's settlement boundary policy.

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.
