Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on housing mix, including the loss of an existing dwelling
the compatibility of the proposal with neighbouring uses
the effect of the proposal on highway safety
whether the proposal provides sufficient cycle parking facilities

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through poor design quality and would prejudice highway safety through its layout, combined with the loss of family housing and failure to provide an appropriate housing mix.

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.
