Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location within the Natural Zone, in consideration of local policies

What decided it

The proposal would erode the quality of the valued landscape and demonstrably harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with development plan policies that require great weight to be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, with no material considerations of sufficient magnitude to outweigh this harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy L1 Core Strategy 2011, Policy DME1, Policy DMR4, Policy DMC2, Policy DS1

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.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
