Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the development plan would support the proposed residential development in this location and if it does not whether any conflict with the development plan would be outweighed by other material considerations

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan's countryside and open space policies was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.

the significant benefits of affordable housing, biodiversity net gain, market housing and wider social/economic benefits did not outweigh the substantial harm arising from conflict with the development plan and the loss of designated open space

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.
