Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character or appearance of the Calverton Conservation Area and on the setting and significance of nearby heritage assets including a Grade II listed building

What decided it

The public benefits of the development were of insufficient weight to outweigh the great weight to be given to the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets, contrary to NPPF paragraph 202.

Framework references: 189, 199, 200, 202, 203

Plan policies cited: LPD26, LPD27, LPD28, LPD31, BE5

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.
