Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 162 and 164 St Osyth Road with regards to outlook and privacy
whether the development makes satisfactory provision for garden space
the effect on highway safety with regards to parking provision
the effect of the development on the integrity of designated sites of nature conservation

What decided it

The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, neighbour amenity, highway safety, and failure to secure nature conservation mitigation, combined with the development plan conflicts, outweighed the modest housing benefit.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Policy SP7, Policy SP2, Policy SPL3, Policy LP4, Policy PPL4

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.
