Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the development plan would support the proposal in this location, having regard to the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, which the Framework requires be given great weight, outweighs the limited benefits of the scheme and cannot be mitigated by reserved matters details.

The limited benefits of housing supply, economic activity and sustainable construction were outweighed by the significant localised harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, which must be given great weight, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.

Plan policies cited: Policy 3, Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 12, Policy 23, Policy 21, Policy 1 of the Landulph Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2030

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.
