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 policies and access to services and facilities
The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Whether a fallback position would exist that would outweigh any harm in respect of the development

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the AONB, conflicting with the development plan, and no material considerations including the fallback position would outweigh this conflict.

Framework references: 79, 176

Plan policies cited: Policy SS1, Policy SS2, Policy EN1, Policy EN2, Policy EN4

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.
