Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be acceptable with respect to the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to odour, noise, dust, lighting, pests and private amenity space, and the effect on the operation of the existing poultry unit

What decided it

The inability to demonstrate that proposed mitigation measures would be effective in ensuring acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with respect to odour, noise, dust, lighting and pests from the adjacent intensive poultry unit, and the risk of unreasonable restrictions being placed on the existing business contrary to NPPF paragraph 187.

Framework references: 187, 188, 12, 15

Plan policies cited: CS Policy EN 4, CS Policy EN 14

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.
