Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside and the Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV)
whether the proposal would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy and the provisions of the Framework

What decided it

The appeal site's status as former curtilage of Maybanks, its adjacency to existing residential development, and its untidy overgrown condition meant the proposal would appear as a well-designed extension to existing development rather than harmful countryside development, while its proximity to sustainable transport options and services made it a suitable location for housing.

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.
