Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and whether very special circumstances exist to justify it
Whether the development would conflict with the sustainable development strategy and harm to rural character
Whether the development would cause material harm to the living conditions of neighbours through noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that reduces openness and conflicts with the sustainable development strategy, and the identified benefits and fallback position do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM20, Policy DM13, Policy CS19, Policy ENV3, Policy ENV2

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.
