Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the future occupiers with particular regard to the 'agent of change' principle with relation to potential noise and odour from the adjacent site
The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the future occupiers with particular regard to the quality of the garden areas

What decided it

The cumulative effect of poor garden provision, including confined outlook, overshadowing, small size, and potential noise and odour exposure, would result in poor living conditions for future occupiers that outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.

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.
