Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the development with particular regard to the size of the units and associated outdoor amenity space
the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to bin storage and off-street parking associated with the development

What decided it

The development fails to demonstrate compliance with the Nationally Described Space Standard and cannot secure adequate outdoor amenity space and bin storage, thereby conflicting with Policies 44 and 45 of the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy 44, Policy 45

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.
