Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the planning balance.

The benefits of housing delivery and the reuse of a previously developed site were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

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.
