Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on traffic flow and highway safety
the living conditions of future occupants of the property

What decided it

The parking survey evidence and the Inspector's site visit observations demonstrated sufficient on-street parking capacity in the vicinity to accommodate the loss of two spaces without causing harm to highway safety or traffic flow.

Plan policies cited: Policy TR4 of the Rother Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy DHG7(ii) of the Rother Development and Site Allocations Local Plan, Policy IN1 of the Robertsbridge and Salehurst Neighbourhood Development Plan, Policy OSS4(i) of the Rother Development and Site Allocations Local Plan

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.
