Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location and enhance the appeal building's immediate setting having regard to the development plan and national policy

What decided it

The proposal would create an isolated dwelling in the countryside without enhancement of its immediate setting, and the modest benefits of housing delivery and brownfield reuse were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by this conflict with the development plan.

The modest benefits of one additional house, brownfield reuse, and economic benefits during construction and occupation, attracting moderate weight, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impact of creating an isolated home in the countryside without enhancement of its immediate setting, which conflicts with the development plan.

Framework references: 84, 11, 152

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.
