Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with regards to noise, disturbance and privacy
Effect of the proposal on the highway network and road safety

What decided it

The proximity of the tea garden to neighbouring residential properties and the constrained nature of the hamlet's highway network meant the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both living conditions and road safety that could not be mitigated.

The employment benefits and local support were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of nearby residents and unacceptable harm to the highway network and road safety.

Framework references: 85

Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy J, Policy CO17, Policy BL8, Policy CO2

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.
