Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on land stability and public safety, having particular regard to historic coal mining activities
the effect on trees
whether the proposal would provide appropriate facilities for the collection of refuse and recycling

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance combined with the unresolved land stability and public safety concerns arising from historic coal mining activities outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the proposal.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy CS9, Policy PSP1, Policy PSP3, Policy PSP22, Policy PSP38

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.
