Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for the proposal, bearing in mind the policies of the development plan and the accessibility of services
The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the scenic beauty of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
The impact of the development on the integrity of the SAC

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the Local Plan's spatial strategy and Policy 5's requirement for tourism accommodation to be accessible by a range of transport modes, given the site's remote location and reliance on private motor vehicles, outweighed the limited economic benefits.

Framework references: 176, 12

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 5, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 23

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.
