Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions attached to the planning permission granted are necessary in order to make the development acceptable in planning terms, with particular regard to the living conditions of nearby residents, the integrity of existing trees, highway safety and the effect on designated heritage assets

What decided it

The original 12-month temporary permission was unduly restrictive and unreasonable as it would prevent advance booking of events and render the scheme unviable, whereas a three-year permission would allow proper monitoring and assessment of impacts whilst maintaining the benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy DE1, Policy EN6, Policy EN4, Policy E9

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.
