Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy

What decided it

The appeal site is not in a sustainable location because future occupants would be reliant on private vehicle use to meet their basic daily needs, contrary to the development plan and national policy promoting sustainable development in rural areas.

The limited benefits of the proposal, comprising a single dwelling, limited support for local services, and personal circumstances, do not justify development on a site found unsuitable and in conflict with local and national policies.

Framework references: 11, 83, 84, 109

Plan policies cited: Policy DPS2, Policy VILL1, Policy VILL2, Policy VILL3, Policy GBR2, Policy TRA1

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.
