Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Alderley Edge Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the Alderley Edge Conservation Area, particularly given the comparable relationship with the fallback approved scheme, and would comply with relevant design, character and conservation policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy SE1 (Design), Policy SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles), Policy SE4 (The Landscape), Policy SE7 (The Historic Environment), Policy HER1 (Heritage Assets), Policy HER3 (Conservation Areas), Policy AE11 (Protecting and Enhancing the Conservation Area)

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.
