Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions could be varied, with due regard to a planning obligation

What decided it

The conditions are reasonable and necessary in accordance with the development plan and Framework, and their removal would be contrary to policy requirements for amenity, sustainable transport, and highway safety.

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.
