Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to the development plan
The effect on the character and appearance of the area
The effect on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds: it fails to meet the criteria for residential development where housing need has been exceeded, it would harm character and appearance through poor design integration, and it would compromise highway safety through inadequate parking and visibility arrangements.

Plan policies cited: Policy R1 of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1), Policy RA2 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2), Policy ENV10 of the Local Plan Part 2, Policy CW1 of the Local Plan Part 2, Policy WH13 of the West Haddon Neighbourhood Development Plan

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.
