Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the NPPF and development plan policy and the effect on openness
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and the surrounding area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No. 2 The Chantries with particular regard to the effect on outlook
If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposed fencing would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness and the rural character of the site, with no very special circumstances to justify it.

Framework references: 149

Plan policies cited: Policy DS18, Policy BE4, Policy BE3

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.
