Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would conflict with the Council's plan-led strategy for housing and growth
If it does conflict, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations

What decided it

The viability of the conversion scheme depends on unrestricted open market occupancy, which is essential to secure the long-term preservation of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset and its positive contribution to the AONB landscape, outweighing the conflict with the local plan housing strategy.

Framework references: 80

Plan policies cited: SP1, SP2, SP21A, LP12, LP13, LP20

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.
