Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with reference to privacy, light and the extent of outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The appeal scheme adheres to all four criteria in Policy SCLP5.4 for housing in clusters, thereby complying with the spatial strategy in the development plan, and no other considerations outweigh this finding.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy SCLP3.1, Policy SCLP3.2, Policy SCLP3.3, Policy SCLP5.3, Policy SCLP5.4, Policy SCLP7.1, Policy SCLP10.4, Policy SCLP11.1, Policy SCLP11.2, Policy SCLP12.34

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.
