Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would accord with the spatial strategy for the area, with regard to development in the open countryside
The effect on the living conditions of the future occupiers of nearby holiday units by way of noise, air quality and odour
The effect on the character and appearance of the area
The effect on biodiversity interests

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the spatial strategy for open countryside development under Policy SP1, combined with unacceptable effects on the living conditions of nearby holiday lodge occupiers through inadequately assessed noise, air quality and odour impacts, outweighed the moderate economic benefits.

Framework references: 58, 109, 187, 198

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP6, Policy SP9, Policy SP13, Policy SP14, Policy SP16, Policy SP19, Policy SP20

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.
