Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and visual appearance of the local landscape
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining residential occupiers
Whether the removal of the Nissan Hut, which is considered to be a non-designated heritage asset, would lead to unacceptable harm

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to the character and visual appearance of the local landscape through its urbanising effect and cumulative impact, conflicting with adopted local plan policies, and the limited benefits would not outweigh this harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM21, Policy DM30, Policy SP22, Policy DM23, Policy SP20

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.
