Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The acknowledged shortfall in housing land supply and the benefit of providing an additional dwelling in a sustainable location carried great weight and outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance.

The limited harm caused to the character and appearance of the area would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of making more effective use of the site to provide an additional dwelling in a sustainable location, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development therefore applied.

Framework references: 11, 69, 120, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy PP27, Policy PP28, Policy PP2

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
