Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the South Devon National Landscape and local trees

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptably adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area and the special rural qualities of the South Devon National Landscape through inappropriate design, materials, and undemonstrated tree protection, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this.

Plan policies cited: Policy TTV29, Policy DEV20, Policy DEV23, Policy DEV25, Policy DEV28, Policy BP2, Policy BP7

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.
