Authority: Plymouth City Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Rogers J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed shared surface access road would be suitable with regard to refuse collection arrangements, provision of services and the safety of its users
whether the proposed dwellings would be safe from flooding and whether the scheme makes adequate arrangements for surface water drainage
the effect of the proposed development on the provision of green space

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan regarding refuse collection arrangements, flood risk and surface water drainage, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts.

Framework references: 9, 12, 14, 15

Plan policies cited: Policy DEV26, Policy DEV29, Policy DEV35, Policy DEV27, Policy DEV7, Policy DEV10, Policy DEV20

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.
