full planning for single detached dwelling, new driveway and access, tree and hedgerow planting and pond

Authority: North Norfolk District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Mileham P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal is in a suitable location for a new dwelling
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether sufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed development would be located in an area at lowest possible risk of flooding

What decided it

The proposal failed to accord with the development plan on multiple grounds—unsuitable location for an isolated dwelling, harm to character and appearance in an open rural landscape, and failure to demonstrate compliance with sequential flood risk testing—and the limited benefits of a single dwelling were insufficient to outweigh these harms.

Framework references: 80, 162

Plan policies cited: Policy SS1, Policy SS2, Policy EN2, Policy EN10

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.
