Cromwell Fire Ltd, Cromwell House, Heath Road, Warboys, HUNTINGDON, PE28 2UW

the erection of two buildings to form four industrial units and single storey extension to existing buildings

Authority: Huntingdonshire District Council
Appeal type: major · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: employment-industrial · Major general industry/storage/warehousing
Inspector: Clarke B

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the suitability of the appeal site as a location for the proposed development, with particular reference to the requirements of the development plan
the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular reference to noise
the effect of the development upon ecology

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—unsustainable location, adverse impact on neighbouring living conditions through noise, and unresolved ecology concerns—with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2, Policy LP16, Policy LP19, Policy LP14, Policy LP30

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.
