Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would affect the integrity of the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
Whether the proposal would make suitable provision for parking
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular respect to privacy

What decided it

The provision of suitable mitigation through a Unilateral Undertaking securing the required contribution towards Cannock Chase SAC Strategic Access Management and Monitoring Measures, combined with adequate parking provision and acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, enabled the appeal to be allowed in accordance with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy N5, Policy N6, Policy T2, Policy N1, Policy N4

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.
