Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the stationing and residential occupation of the two mobile homes on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to rural character and appearance caused by the mobile homes, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing provision, in conflict with the Development Plan taken as a whole.

The environmental harm to rural character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate economic and social benefits of providing two homes and supporting local services, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole

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.
