Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to local and national policies
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the existing occupants of 6 Home Close with particular regard to noise and disturbance
Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to privacy
Whether sufficient information has been provided regarding the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal is located in open countryside where development is not permitted unless it meets specific exceptions under JCS Policies 13, 25 or 26, none of which apply to this residential dwelling, rendering it contrary to the development plan spatial strategy.

Plan policies cited: JCS Policy 11, JCS Policy 13, JCS Policy 25, JCS Policy 26, JCS Policy 28, JCS Policy 29, JCS Policy 8, JCS Policy 4, KSSP2 Policy RS3, KSSP2 Policy RS4, KSSP2 Policy RS5, KSSP2 Policy LOC1

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.
