Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including its effect on a designated Green Space
the effect of the development on biodiversity

What decided it

The fact that two previous permissions had been granted for dwellings on the site with the same location, footprint and general scale meant that the proposed design changes would not have a significantly greater impact on the designated Green Space than the permission previously approved, justifying a decision contrary to the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy SWDP21, Policy SWDP38, Policy SWDP22, Policy SWDP 27

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.
