Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for the development, having regard to the spatial strategy set out in the development plan
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's unsuitability as a location having regard to the spatial strategy, combined with the harm to character and appearance, outweighs the modest benefits of climate change mitigation and support for rural vitality.

Framework references: 84

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S10, Policy S11, Policy H4, Policy R1, Policy SA, Policy SS1, Policy SS2, Policy LH1, Policy LH4, Policy LH5

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.
