Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The suitability of the location for the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to the development plan's spatial strategy, access to local services and facilities, and the effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it

The appeal site is located in the countryside outside the settlement boundary and does not constitute development within a cluster as defined by Policy SCLP5.4, and the proposal would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the area and undermine the development plan's spatial strategy.

Framework references: 2, 11

Plan policies cited: Policy SCLP3.2, Policy SCLP3.3, Policy SCLP5.3, Policy SCLP5.4

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.
