Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development is in a sustainable location, having regard to the pattern of development in the area
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
The effect of the proposed development on local ecology and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed development's unsustainable location outside the defined development limits, combined with potential uncontrollable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, conflicted with the development plan and could not be justified.

Framework references: 88

Plan policies cited: Core Strategy Policy SP2, Core Strategy Policy SP13, Core Strategy Policy SP18, Core Strategy Policy SP19, DLP Policy RT11, DLP Policy RT12, DLP Policy ENV1

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.
