Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is in a suitable location having particular regard to the Council's spatial strategy in respect of small-scale residential development on garden land
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents, with particular reference to internal room sizes

What decided it

The site qualifies as a genuine gap site exception to the presumption against garden development, making it a suitable location for small-scale residential development that would not undermine the Council's spatial strategy.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy CS1 A, Policy CS1 B, Policy D3, Policy DM1, Policy DM26

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.
