Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be an acceptable location for the development having regard to the spatial strategy for the area and access to facilities and services
The effect of the proposal on heritage assets

What decided it

The significant harm to designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under Framework paragraph 205, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing one dwelling.

The limited weight attributed to housing supply and modest public benefits was insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to designated heritage assets and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy

Framework references: 84, 189, 205, 206, 207

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP5, Policy EN6

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.
