Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the suitability of the site for the proposal, with reference to its accessibility, having regard to local policy for the supply of employment land
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's remote location with poor accessibility by public transport, cycling and walking makes it unsuitable for the proposed scale of employment development under Policy EC3, and the proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Denbury Down Landscape Character Area.

Framework references: 85

Plan policies cited: Policy EC3, Policy S22, Policy S9, Policy EN2A

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
