Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed dwelling would be in a suitable location having regard to local and national planning policies
The effect of the development on the integrity of European designated habitats sites

What decided it

The proposal would not result in an isolated home in the countryside, would enhance the appearance of the site by replacing a derelict building with a modest high-quality dwelling, and would be sustainably located within walking and cycling distance of village services, thereby according with the broad aims of the development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework despite the technical conflict with settlement boundary policies.

Framework references: 83, 84

Plan policies cited: Policy SP3, Policy SPL2, Policy SPL1, Policy SP2, Policy PPL4, Policy PPL5, Policy PPL10

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.
