Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal is consistent with development plan policy for the siting of new housing in larger villages
Whether the proposed development would be consistent with development plan policy for providing housing to maintain a sustainable local community

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with three key development plan policies: it would harm the character and appearance of the National Park contrary to Strategic Policy C, it is not located within the main built up area of the village contrary to Policy CO7, and it fails to provide smaller dwellings as required by Policies CO7 and Strategic Policy M.

Framework references: 182

Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy C, Policy CO7, Strategic Policy M, Strategic Policy J, Policy UE2

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.
