Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the relationship of the proposal to the protected trees
whether the proposal would lead to the unacceptable loss of a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The unsatisfactory relationship between the proposed dwellings and the protected trees, which would substantially overshadow the properties and create pressure for future tree management or removal, conflicted significantly with development plan policies and outweighed the housing benefit.

The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the substantial weight given to the significant development plan conflict regarding the relationship to protected trees and harm to future occupiers' living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy 9, Policy 12, Core Policy 14, Policy DM5, Policy DM9, Policy DM12

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.
