‘self-build development. The proposed application is for one 4-bedroom two story detached dwelling’

Authority: Wyre Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Veevers A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the local development plan strategy
The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular reference to outlook, odour, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by introducing residential development in countryside outside settlement boundaries, and fails to provide acceptable living conditions due to proximity to equestrian uses, with modest benefits insufficient to outweigh the significant harm identified.

Framework references: 11, 63

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP4, Policy CDMP3, Policy CDMP6

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.
