Authority: East Riding of Yorkshire Council

Inspector: Martinson P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether conditions 3 and 6 are reasonable and necessary in the interests of preserving the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties and the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The lack of adequate information about light spillage and sensor operation, combined with the high concentration of unshrouded lighting units in a rural setting, and the demonstrated noise impact from air conditioning units on neighbouring residential amenity, made both conditions reasonable and necessary.

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV1, Policy S4, Policy ENV6

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.
