Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the development provides occupants with satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight, noise and disturbance, accessibility and cycle storage
Whether occupation of the development is safe having particular regard to the risk of flooding
The effect of the development on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The development's adverse effect on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA, with no adequate mitigation measures legally secured, is determinative and justifies dismissal irrespective of other considerations.

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.
