Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to the Council's housing strategy
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan as it does not represent an appropriate location for housing development outside the settlement boundary and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area.

The limited economic and social benefits of the development were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan and the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S4, Policy ENV1

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.
