Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition 5 is reasonable, necessary and enforceable with respect to minimising the impact of transport emissions on air quality
Whether condition 7 is reasonable, necessary and enforceable with respect to the living conditions of occupiers with particular regard to noise
Whether condition 9 is reasonable, necessary and enforceable with respect to providing facilities to support sustainable modes of transport

What decided it

The conditions were substantively justified by development plan policy but required amendment to provide sufficient certainty and enforceability through the submission and approval of detailed schemes.

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy T6, London Plan Policy T6.1, London Plan Policy T5, Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 33, Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 7

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.
