Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policies in respect of affordable housing with particular regard to local housing need
if it is, whether the s106 agreement would secure the provision of on-site affordable housing

What decided it

The Inspector found a proven and as yet unmet local need for affordable housing in Crowle and adjoining parishes under Policy SWDP16, secured by the completed s106 agreement, meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan.

Framework references: 9

Plan policies cited: Policy SWDP2, Policy SWDP16, SWDP21

Judgments cited: Old Hunstanton Parish Council v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and others [2015] EWHC 1958

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.
