Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site provides a suitable location for the development proposed having particular regard to relevant policies within the development plan which control the spatial distribution of housing and which control the development of garden land
The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal constitutes garden land development contrary to policy CS1 and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area through its disproportionate scale, inharmonious design, and disruption of the established pattern of the terraced housing group.

Framework references: 75, 11

Plan policies cited: CS1, H2, D1, D3, DM1

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.
