Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The living conditions of occupiers of adjacent properties and future occupiers of the proposed dwellings

What decided it

The loss of the healthy, mature beech tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order, which makes a significant and positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, substantially outweighs the benefits of providing 3 additional dwellings.

The adverse impacts of the development, particularly the loss of the beech tree, significantly outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the policies in the Local Plan and the aims of the Framework.

Framework references: 11, 130, 131

Plan policies cited: Policy EE1, Policy EE9, Policy EE11

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.
