Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and group of former farmstead buildings which are located within the Special Landscape Area

What decided it

The significant material deviation from the approved plans in terms of increased height and design changes has resulted in a building that detracts from the character and appearance of the former farmstead group and the Special Landscape Area, contrary to relevant development plan policies and national planning guidance.

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV2, Policy ENV10, Policy SP1, Policy RA6, Policy RA1, Policy RA2, Policy RA3, Policy S10, Policy R1

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.
