the erection of a one-bedroom dwelling

Authority: Wyre Forest District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Murray D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal constitutes 'inappropriate development' in the Green Belt and the effect on its openness
The effect on the character and appearance of the area
The effect on the occupiers of the adjacent property of 25 Briar Hill and on the occupiers of the new dwelling itself
Whether harm caused by inappropriate development, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness and character through its cramped appearance on the tapering plot, and would harm neighbouring living conditions, with no very special circumstances to outweigh these harms.

Framework references: 154, 128

Plan policies cited: DM.2, DM.24

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.
