Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed use having regard to the development plan
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the development on the setting of nearby listed buildings and archaeology

What decided it

The site is not a suitable location for the proposed use as it is located on previously undeveloped agricultural land in the countryside without evidence of local demand or justification for the location, and the development would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.

Framework references: 88, 89, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S5, Policy S34, Policy S53, Policy S57, Policy 1(e), Policy 6(2), Policy 2

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.
