Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on heritage assets and on the location more generally
The overall planning balance

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the proposal would cause no harm to heritage assets or townscape and would deliver very substantial benefits including affordable housing, PBSA, Build to Rent and a data centre, meaning it accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the very substantial benefits of affordable housing, data centre provision, Build to Rent and PBSA, together with other moderate to substantial benefits, weighed decisively in favour of the proposal, with no harm found to weigh against it

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.
