Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the development proposed
The effect of the proposed access on highway safety with particular reference to visibility at the site entrance
The effect of the appeal proposal on biodiversity
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of surrounding residential properties, having particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The appeal site's unsustainable rural location, combined with significant harm to character and appearance, unresolved highway safety concerns, and material harm to neighbouring residential amenity, clearly conflicted with the up-to-date development plan with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh this conflict.

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.
