Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for housing.
The effect of the proposal on the local tourism economy.
The effect of the proposal on an Area of Great Landscape Value, and
Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision towards affordable housing.

What decided it

The proposal failed to secure an agreed affordable housing financial contribution required under Policy 8 of the CLP, resulting in conflict with the development plan.

The benefits of a suitable location, no unacceptable harm to tourism or landscape were outweighed by the unresolved conflict with the development plan arising from the lack of a secured affordable housing contribution, leading to dismissal.

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 5 (3), Policy 6, Policy 7, Policy 8, Policy 9, Policy 23, Policy 6 of the NDP, Policy 7 of the NDP

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.
