Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether Condition 11 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The site-specific circumstances, including the large size of the appeal site, the revised siting surrounded by undeveloped land, and the realistic prospect of additional built development under permitted development rights that could cumulatively harm Green Belt openness, justified retention of the condition as necessary and reasonable.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy D9 of the Council's Local Development Framework, Policy LP62 of the Wakefield District Local Plan 2036, Policy LP56 of the Wakefield District Local Plan 2036, Policy LP57 of the Wakefield District Local Plan 2036

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.
