Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the Framework
the effects of the proposal upon biodiversity, including bats and trees
whether the proposal would provide a biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The replacement dwelling would not be materially larger than the existing building when all buildings on site are considered together, and would therefore constitute appropriate development in the Green Belt under Framework exception d).

Framework references: 11, 154, 155, 182, 185

Plan policies cited: Policy S4, Policy NE8, Policy NE1, Policy EN1, Policy EN2

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.
