Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for the development, bearing in mind the settlement policies of the development plan, the accessibility of the location, and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the location of the proposal would be acceptable having regard to the risk of flooding

What decided it

The site lies outside any settlement boundary and in open countryside where development is not permitted under the development plan policies, and the poor accessibility to services means occupants would be heavily dependent on private vehicles, conflicting with the spatial strategy and sustainability objectives of the Local Plan.

Framework references: 12, 60, 70, 165, 167, 168, 173

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 21, Policy 26, Policy C1, Policy T1, Policy CC3

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
