erection of 5no. dwellings (with access from the approved development of five dwellings adjacent)

Authority: Tendring District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Simpson L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is a suitable location with regard to the Council's strategy for the location of residential development and its access to services and facilities
The effect of the proposed development on Special Protection Areas and Ramsar sites
Whether the development necessitates the provision of open space

What decided it

The site's location adjoining the settlement boundary of Frating and the appropriateness of 5 dwellings as a scale of growth for a smaller rural settlement with good employment opportunities and accessible bus services, combined with proper mitigation of European Site impacts through the RAMS contribution.

Plan policies cited: TDLP Section 1 Policy SP3, TDLP Section 2 Policy SPL2, TDLP Section 2 Policy SPL1, TDLP Section 1 Policy SP2, TDLP Section 2 Policy HP5

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.
