Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden (RPG)

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to meet any of the exceptions in NPPF paragraph 154, and the material considerations in support do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to justify the harm.

Framework references: 142, 152, 153, 154, 155, 206

Plan policies cited: Policy 3 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies, Policy 11 of the Aligned Core Strategies, Policy LPD15 of the Gedling Borough Local Planning Document, Policy 26 of the Local Planning Document, Policy 29 of the Local Planning Document

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.
