Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with respect to its effect on trees

What decided it

The insufficient and out-of-date arboricultural information, combined with the likelihood that the proposed dwelling would create future pressure for the loss or significant pruning of trees that currently make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, resulted in harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits.

The modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and contributing to housing land supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the potential harm to trees and character and appearance of the area

Framework references: 11, 60, 136

Plan policies cited: Policy EN5 of the Local Plan for the Bradford District Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2017)

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.

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.
