Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the site would be an appropriate location for a dwelling having regard to national and local planning policy for the development of residential gardens
whether future intended occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions, with particular regard to floor to ceiling heights

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by inappropriately developing residential garden land, and this harm is not outweighed by the benefits of providing additional housing.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy D6, Policy D3, Policy DM1, Policy DM26, Policy H2

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.
