Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether this is a suitable location for new housing, having regard to policies relating to the development strategy and the countryside

What decided it

The proposal fails to meet any of the purposes specified in Policy SP4(2) for new development in the open countryside and therefore conflicts with the development strategy, and the modest benefits do not outweigh this harm.

the modest benefits of one additional dwelling, renewable energy measures, and landscaping do not outweigh the conflict with the up-to-date development plan and the harm to the Council's development strategy

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP4 (1), Policy SP4 (2), Policy SP2, Policy CDMP4

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.

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.
