Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the location of the appeal site would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
Whether the proposal would provide a suitable housing mix with regards to size, type and tenure
Whether the proposal would make suitable provisions for affordable housing

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing residential development into open agricultural land that forms a valuable transition between the village edge and wider countryside, contrary to Policies S1, S5 and HG5 of the Hambleton Local Plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S3, Policy S5, Policy HG3, Policy HG5

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.
