Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal would provide safe access to and from the site for all modes of transport, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, and the effect of the proposal on safety levels on the road network

What decided it

The proposal would not provide safe access to and from the site for all modes of transport, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, as required by Policy 21 of the Neighbourhood Plan, resulting in unacceptable dependence on the private vehicle and conflict with the development plan.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy 21, Policy 24, Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 27, Policy 16

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
