Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether Condition 13 is necessary and reasonable, with regard to the effects of the replacement hedgerow on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area

What decided it

The replacement hedgerow, although non-native, adds to the variety of boundary treatments within the village and does not appear out of place within the built-up residential area, therefore not harming character and appearance and justifying removal of Condition 13.

Framework references: 131, 135, 140, 180

Plan policies cited: Policy LP17, Policy LP24

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.
