Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the openness of the Green Belt
Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The site's prominent position in the Green Belt with clearly perceptible openness and its positive architectural character justified restricting extensions, roof alterations and outbuildings, but not hard surfacing which would not materially harm either openness or character.

Framework references: 54

Plan policies cited: Policy LP3, Policy LP30

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.
