Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the Broads Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar Site
Whether the location of the development is sustainable, regarding development plan policy
Whether the development results in a loss of employment space, contrary to development plan policy

What decided it

The development would have likely significant adverse effects on the integrity of the Broads Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar Site due to nutrient loading from residential foul effluent, with no adequate mitigation evidence provided to satisfy the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.

Framework references: 188

Plan policies cited: DM1.3, DM3.10, DM2.2, DM2.11, Joint Core Strategy Policy 1, Joint Core Strategy Policy 5, Joint Core Strategy Policy 6

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.
