Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the appeal site is suitable for the development proposed having regard to its accessibility, location, and effects on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The appeal site's poor accessibility and location outside settlement boundaries, requiring reliance on private car travel and conflicting with sustainable development policies, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and the absence of harm to character and appearance.

the presumption in favour of sustainable development and support for reuse of land were outweighed by policy conflicts regarding accessibility, location and sustainable patterns of development

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV1, Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy S4, Policy ENV2, Policy C1, Policy I1

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.
