Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with specific regard to the development strategy and the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate housing mix for the area

What decided it

The proposal's location immediately adjacent to a sustainable settlement, combined with its consistency with the updated Interim Policy Guidance 2015 and Framework paragraph 79 on rural housing, outweighed the breach of Policy CP4, and the ability to secure appropriate housing mix through reserved matters conditions resolved the housing mix concern.

Framework references: 48, 79

Plan policies cited: Policy CP4, Policy CP1, Policy CP2, Policy CP16, Policy CP8, Policy DP10, Policy DP30, Policy DP32, Policy DP13

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.
