Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Frinton and Walton Conservation Area and preserve the setting of the Round House (Grade II Listed)
The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of residential properties on Waltham Way and at 5 Cliff Way, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets (conservation area and listed building setting) outweighed the modest public benefits of the proposal when applying the planning balance required by Framework Paragraph 202.

Framework references: 202, 199

Plan policies cited: TDLP Section 2 Policy SPL3, TDLP Section 2 Policy PPL8, TDLP Section 2 Policy PPL9, TDLP Section 1 Policy SP7

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.
