Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the weight to be attached to any conflict identified between policy DM5 of the Newark & Sherwood Allocations and Development Management Development Plan Document and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the rhythmical pattern of development and unbalancing the symmetry of the gap between Nos 59 and 61, contrary to policy DM5 and Core Policy 9.

Framework references: 58, 129, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy DM5, Core Policy 9

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.
