Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be well related to the pattern of settlement and its landscape context
The effect on heritage assets
The influence on neighbouring living conditions

What decided it

The proposal would fundamentally conflict with the development plan's settlement strategy by eroding the distinction between the settlement and embracing rural landscape, and would have an adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions.

The neutral effect on heritage assets was outweighed by fundamental inconsistency with the plan-led strategy regarding settlement pattern and landscape context, and adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2, Policy LP9, Policy LP11, Policy LP16, Policy LP17, Policy LP19, Policy LP27, Policy CH2

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.
