Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would represent sustainable development in terms of the spatial strategy of the development plan and in terms of accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside, combined with limited accessibility to services and facilities, conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy and does not represent sustainable development.

The limited benefits of temporary employment during construction, local spend by future residents, and provision of one house were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan spatial strategy and poor accessibility to services and facilities

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.
