Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the relevant policies of the development plan
the effect of the development on living conditions, with particular regard to noise
the effect of the development on highway safety
the effect of the development on existing trees

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan locational strategy by proposing sporadic residential development in open countryside outside any defined development envelope, contrary to Policy GROWTH 2, and this conflict is not outweighed by material considerations.

Framework references: 11, 79, 105

Plan policies cited: Policy GROWTH 2, Policy GROWTH 1, Policy ENV2, Policy ENV9, Policy COM 7, Policy ENV7, Policy ENV 1

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.
