Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the scale of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of existing residential occupiers, with particular regard to the potential noise associated with vehicles using the proposed access for the occupiers of 12-18 Bevills Close and 15 Eastalls Close, and the effect on parking arrangements for 12-18 Bevills Close

What decided it

The Environmental Noise Assessment provided cogent technical evidence that predicted noise levels from the proposed development would be acceptable and not significant, thereby resolving the main issue regarding living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.

Framework references: 50, 57, 65

Plan policies cited: Policy LP3, Policy LP2, Policy LP5, Policy LP12, Policy LP13, Policy LP15, Policy LP16

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.
