Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the main built up area of Castleton
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind that it would be within the Castleton Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with regard to visibility splays, surface water drainage and street furniture

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by failing to locate housing within the main built up area of Castleton and by causing unjustified harm to the character and appearance of the Castleton Conservation Area.

Framework references: 16

Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy M, Policy CO7, Policy CO2, Strategic Policies C and I, Policy ENV11

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.
