Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to smoke and odours

What decided it

The absence of technical evidence to substantiate concerns about smoke and odours, combined with the realistic fallback position of permitted development, led the Inspector to conclude that the development would not result in unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.

The modest visual impact and functional benefits of the installation, weighed against unsubstantiated concerns about smoke and odours from neighbours, tipped in favour of allowing the appeal.

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.
