Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed flats with particular regard to outlook, daylight and internal space
Waste disposal and storage provision
The character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly Flat 2, due to poor daylight, outlook and inadequate ceiling heights, and lacks sufficient detail to demonstrate acceptable waste storage and access arrangements.

Framework references: 126, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy DM1, Policy DM26, Policy DM45, Policy CS1B, Policy CS1, Policy D1

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.
