Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the outlook and light of properties to the south
Effects on surface water flooding

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole due to harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, and no material considerations outweigh this conflict.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic benefits do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan

Plan policies cited: CS.9, CS.4, H5, BE2, BE6

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.
