Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal is 'inappropriate development' having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
The impact of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings, including the existing house

What decided it

The new building, although larger in volume, was not materially larger than the existing outbuilding in its specific context and would represent an improvement in design and appearance while having no adverse effect on the character of the surroundings or the setting of nearby listed buildings.

Framework references: 152, 153, 154, 155, 156

Plan policies cited: Policy MG02, Policy BE14

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.
