Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
The effect of the development on openness and the purposes of the Green Belt
Whether the development preserves the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building and whether the significance of the heritage asset is harmed
If the development is inappropriate in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The inappropriate nature of the development in the Green Belt, to which substantial weight must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the personal circumstances and human rights considerations advanced by the appellant.

Framework references: 154, 16

Plan policies cited: Policy GB1, Policy GB10, Policy CP8

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.
