Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policies for the provision of housing
whether the proposal would provide necessary infrastructure provisions

What decided it

The proposal would locate development in an unsuitable location in open countryside, conflicting with the Local Plan's strategic approach to housing distribution, and the moderate benefits of housing provision and accessibility did not outweigh this fundamental conflict with the development plan.

the moderate benefits of housing provision, accessibility and economic benefits did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan when taken as a whole

Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 21, Policy 23, Policy 28

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.
