Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area with particular regard as to whether the proposed advertisement would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Green Lane and St Peters Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would result in an unacceptable impact on visual amenity and would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area due to its siting, scale, elevated position and illumination in an area where advertisements are not a dominant feature.

Plan policies cited: Saved Policy E18, Saved Policy E19, Saved Policy E26, Policy CP4, Policy CP20

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.
