Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, including the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
Whether the site is suitably located for the development proposed with regard to the Council's development strategy

What decided it

The proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area including the AONB, and would not result in isolated development or additional travel, thereby satisfying the objectives of the Council's development strategy despite not strictly according with restrictive countryside policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 43, Policy 48, Policy 2, Policy 45, Policy 6 of the Bosham Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029, Policy 1 of the Bosham Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029

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.
