Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers with particular regard to access into and within the proposed dwelling
the effect of the proposal on the biodiversity of the site and its surroundings
whether the proposal includes suitable measures to generate renewable energy

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan on three significant matters—character and appearance, accessible living conditions, and biodiversity—could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of providing additional housing.

Plan policies cited: Policy H7, Policy H13, Policy UD1, Policy UD5, Policy H12, Policy STP2, Policy GL10

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
