Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the health and well-being of the local community

What decided it

The absence of conflict with any identified development plan policy, combined with the location and existing use of the premises as a restaurant/café, led the Inspector to conclude the appeal should be allowed despite conflict with the non-statutory SPD guidance.

Framework references: 97

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.
