Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Metropolitan Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework, having regard to the nature of the development and its effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
The location of the proposal, with specific reference to its Area of Multiple Environmental Sensitivity (AMES) designation
If the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would constitute inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt by reducing openness and changing the agricultural character of the site, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.

Framework references: 143, 152, 153

Plan policies cited: SS1, SS10, SDC3

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.
