Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies, including its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 79 Burley Road

What decided it

The harmful effects on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, which the Inspector found were not outweighed by the limited private benefits of the development, led to dismissal despite the development not being inappropriate in Green Belt terms.

Framework references: 154, 155

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV2, Policy ENV3, Policy STR1, Policy DM20

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.
